Verizon PCMCIA Card Just Works

Apple God writes "I was a friend's house and he showed me his Verizion PCMCIA card for internet access. On a whim, I put it in my PowerBook, and it recognized the card and prompted me for authorization to configure the system for use with the card. I entered my password, and was surprised to see an icon in the menu bar for it. I clicked on this icon and selected connect, it worked! I had internet access. Here is a picture of the card that I used. When we checked Verizon's page, they only listed Windows compatibility. To make matters sweeter, my friend was shocked that it 'just worked' because he had to install drivers in XP before it would work."

Guess what? I plugged in a DeskJet 970cxi into my Windows XP system yesterday and it "just works".

Of course, when this happens on a Mac OS X system, it's worthy of front-page status on Slashdot, complete with a mini-dig at XP.

This is why people call Slashdot "Apple biased".
