Welcome to IWETHEY!

New And it's stuff like this..
that causes me to eschew the Mac forum for weeks at a time.
Oh and.. seeing a friend's Powerbook; watching a DVD on it w/ external speaker/amp. She needs to get her e-mail back 'home' (is on an emergency trip to LA / no web access). I mention to a fellow IWEr that, "it's Blue-Tooth enabled - so why didn't it display the Google page and log her in, at the local Inet-Cafe?". He sez, "umm, you need a little plug-in card called Airport."

I go home. Hear next day that she scored the card, apparently at a good price ($80?) plugged it in. Went back to Cafe: got e-mail. No Call-Home-with-S/N.. No *INSTALL* NO B.S.

Now she's going to give me the e-Machine I set up for her a couple years back.. but.. do I even care??

Powerbooks should require a triplicate DEA Rx, as should nicotine.
I don't NEED another computer! damn it.


But ... ...




Stop telling me this stuff!
New /me nods on the Airport/Bluetooth thing.
I plugged the Airport card into the iBook (10.3.5 at the time), powered up, and it prompted me to choose a wireless network.

That was it.

With the DBT-120 Bluetooth adapter it was a similar story. Plug it in, and start the process of pairing a device. No fuss, no mess.

Windows and Linux have equally shitty Bluetooth implementations, but for different reasons.
