Re: [A/S] wireless travels??

Make sure when and if you get your airport card that you take notice to the 
different models available. The newest is called "AirPort Extreeme" and is the 
latest technology (802.11g) which supports up to 54Mbps and it is also downward 
compatible with other 802.11 networks. the part number is M8881LL/A 

There are also some optional or alternative antennas available too on Apples 
site as well:
Directional Antenna T6051LL/A
Omnidirectional Antenna T6052ZM/A

There are Lots of choices on antennas (Even Home Made Ones) but the standard 
one you are using that comes with the unit is probably good enough in most 
cases. Unless of course if you are in line of site with a Starbucks and aim the 
antenna down the road a little. ;-)
