Now I am confused...but only a bit. At
http://www.devdepot.com/wireless.html there are a number of options
which would be cheaper than going Extreme...right now I do have my
PCCard slot holding something so would rather not fill it, but I
could easily enough. The external antenna may be an answer. Will
the external cards or antennas help enough with a Snow Airport or are
we really looking at a whole new setup (gosh, maybe i have to buy a
new Ti (Al?) Book???
