Notes from a swticher
Got this email from my Dad shortly after the arrival of his new PowerBook. 
I'm sending this note from the Mac.....I'm impressed already....the
book told me to go and get all this IP info, but I just turned it on
and it asked me if I wanted to update a bunch of program files so I
said yes....took about 5-10 minutes to download all the new file
info....and I was automatically connected to internet and
email.....never once asked for any of the info the book said was
needed.....glad I did'nt call the apple help line....the guy probably
would have just said..."plug it in and turn it on"....presto!

Yeah, I was surprised to find how easy it was to set up both my Airport base station, and my Powerbook.

when everything people say about other races is racist, nothing is racist. quit screwing it up for people by saying every race-related comment is a friggin slur.

Actually I think the article stated those figures for America, highlighting the fact that white Americans use wireless services less than everyone else (everyone else including white people on other continents.
