Tiger came with Airport Admin Utility, which is too old to support Airport base stations with 802.11n. Leopard and Snow Leopard came with Airport Utility, which has been updated regularly to support new models. If you buy an Airport base station with 802.11n, it comes with a CD that includes Airport Utility, older versions of which were able to be installed on Tiger. The current Airport Extreme and Time Capsule say they require Leopard or later (for configuration purposes), so presumably the latest Airport Utility doesn't run on Tiger any more. Airport Express still says it can be configured on Tiger, so it must include an older version of Airport Utility on its CD. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

I agree. Having done it too many times. When I went to Morocco they made me open my Iomega portable hard drive.

I don't wear shoes, only sandals. I don't wear a watch but I do wear a medical ID braclet that looks like a metal watch band. I never take it off nor my wedding ring. Both get through the metal detector just fine. The camera back has 2 Canon bodies, three large IS lenses, media and a slew of backup batteries. Usually, the only thing that slows me down is the large 28-300mm f/3.5 IS and or the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS. I always have to open up the bag and show it/them to them. I usually have my meds and insulin too. I put extra syringes into the checked luggage but I usually have a bag (10) and those that fix into my insulin pouch with me. They never bother me with that either. 2 laptops slide out of that case rather easily compared with the other rituals of flight checkin. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG All your spirit rack abuses, come to haunt you back by day.

I suppose you could also have a double-sided case for two such laptops -- though in either case (that's a pun?), I suspect said case have to be fabric, not metal. Watching my laptop disappear into the scanner, knowing that I may get held up behind someone in the line for metal scanning while it rattles down the bumpy rollers on the other side and gets yanked around by some TSA person carelessly rearranging trays on the output belt, is one of the more stressful experiences of traveling these days.

You put the laptop in a bin before it goes in the scanner. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG All your spirit rack abuses, come to haunt you back by day.
