i was like "i don't live in a barracks yo!"

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 20 January 2005 22:12 (nineteen years ago) link

so they were out of airport expresses at the store today! the guy told me i should just get a non-apple 802.11g router, which was a little cheaper, but i was kinda wary. should i just go for it? what brand?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:41 (nineteen years ago) link

linksys. not Netgear. and not whatever else. But actually linksys routers can be kind of gay too, Ally's had some run-ins with hers, like f'rinstance there's currently no way to run a firmware update on one without a windows PC. Should have asked the guy in the store. Then again if he told you to go get a non-apple router instead of the express he's probably just a dickface anyway.

he did have a penis on his face.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

i think it was maybe the linksys one he was recommending? but i really don't want to end up with a gay router. so i should just find a store that has an express in stock, you're telling me?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

To be honest I personally have found Linksys routers to be decent, sturdy equipment and their customer service is probably actually better than Apple's. My advice, go see if you can find a store like COMPUSA that gives you a cheap anything-goes warranty and buy the linksys model there.

Don't forget that the Airport Express can be hooked up to your stereo and USB printer, though. (Although I have a somewhat difficult time getting it to connect with the printer. I'm not sure what's up, but I haven't dived deep into making it work.)

Although my connection drops out a lot and I have to restart the computer to get it to work again.

I M using a linksys router to connect to the internets as we speak. With my Apple Macintosh computer. It is SO ORESOME>, plus I can type.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 22 January 2005 07:15 (nineteen years ago) link

that doesn't sound "okay" to me rosemary!!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 22 January 2005 18:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I have not looked at the manual and I installed it maybe 45 minutes ago

I hear that stuff can be addictive, though. Be careful.

I bought matching Linsky's blue modem and router today. Now I need an airport card. Isn't Apple gay? Why do they call it "Airport Express" when it's really a plain router?

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 08:54 (nineteen years ago) link

It's also a print server and wireless music terminal. it's also more of an access point than a router.

will the apple store ship to the uk?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 13:15 (nineteen years ago) link

No, only the UK Apple store, and Apple threatens to cut off supply of anyd ealer who ships abroad, and besides a lot of US mail order operations will not accept foreign credit cards.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 13:26 (nineteen years ago) link

and bear in mind that UK customs and Excise will charge you VAT on anything you get sent.

the affordable mac mini just got a whole lot more expensive!

the exchange rate is awesome at the moment: curb yr enthusiasm seasons 1-3 & seinfeld seasons 1-3: £89!!!!

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 13:29 (nineteen years ago) link

You need a willing volunteer to bring one back from the states for you. DOn't forget to configure it with 512Mb of RAM, or face dissapointment.

:-(((((( I am still confused. Ideally I would like the ipod blow-up style iMAC with the gigantic screen + airport so that my husband can play xbox live and I can set up the old iMAC in another room. But our *dealer* says I can't hook up the old imac to airport?!? I refuse to believe this. :-( How can I find out he's wrong. Argh, I remember the good old times: an Apple Classic and me printing out my developmental psych project in four hours. hah.

― stevie nixed (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 13:35 (nineteen years ago) link

The old iMac, if it has an Airport slot (assmuning G3 15" monitor style) then you need one of the old style airport cards which are out of production and can only be found an excessive cost on eBay. The old iMac could be linked to the network by wire, of course, the airport base station iMac, and broadband modem connected to a 4 port ethernet switch the other devices over the air.

New powerbooks out today. A slight speedbump. DDL graphic on the higher models, but still the same graphics chips still the same crappy 167Mhz frontside bus. I'm not so worried about Apple shoehorning a G5 into a laptop just yet but I won't buy one with this quite frankly jurassic frontside bus. IT basically the same mainborad that's been in there for years. Apple and Freescale need to pull their fingers out.

I knew you'd say that. And how come nobody told about the new petite airportexpress?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 31 January 2005 22:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Today? Why didn't they do this at the confab?

about curb and seinfeld, RJG?

No idea, probably because as an upgrade it's so underwhelming, besides it would have put some early adopters off buying minis and shuffles, now they have something to buy this month too.

Time to hunker down and wait for Freescale 8641D laptops.

Hello video iPod.

Apple's managed to block most of the Mac web from updating live. We tip a hat to Apple for finding a location without cellphone or wireless access.

I just bought a photo 60GB that has yet to arrive, so I am just going to send that right back to Amazon.

these new iMacs have DDR2 memory (I guess that's better, though questionable how much improvement over the PC3200 in my current G5) and PCI-Express graphics. Nice of Apple to join the rest of the industry on basic specs.
