And then there was wireless.
So this morning I zipped back out to CompUsa and said, "This don't work!" and they gave me a new airport card. Moments later I was at home and back online with no wires. I must say this is quite wonderful! My one gripe would be that installing the card is somewhat of a pain in the ass. I think apple should have come up with a better way of installing it. Getting the bottom of the G4 was somewhat of a pain in the ass.
On another topic, I just realized that blogger keeps archives of my posts and that I can probably provide access to them via my web page. Neat!
