Verily, it is written that Apple will selleth you the Air The (UK) Observer, Sunday January 20 2008 http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/jan/20/apple
There's no obvious way of plugging in an ethernet cable (which means that the Air is restricted to relatively slow wi-fi connections).
Methinks the eloquent yellow ragger hath failed to do his homework. Upon the webpage revealing the Technical Specifications of the most righteous Air, in the section high-lighted and denoted "Accessories" we find "USB Ethernet Adapter" (MB442Z/A). Quoth: "No Wi-Fi? Conneect to wired networks with this simple, one-piece external adapter." Indeed one must pluggeth it into the port of USB, for it must exchange sacred waves with the innermost of the Air and the 10/100BASE-T umbilical of Ether. But exchange them it will, and great joy will be spread as the packets spring forth like Mercury himself. Note well this revelation is, to weep, below the fold of the most informative webpage, so perhaps the scribe failed to apprehend said explicative in his haste to spread the word revealed. I commend to him a visitation with the URL introduced herewith. http://www.apple.com/macbookair/specs.html May the grace of Jobs go with you, -mo ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
