And what about the wireless connection? Depends on the computer? Mac laptops come ready to go. All you need is an "airport" express or base station if you are not in range of free wifi. PC's, I believe, require cards, etc. At home, I have my MacBook Pro laptop connected wirelessly to my stereo & printer + the internet. Only required a wifi base station to transmit to the cable modem. RVC-I can sit in my westy & send stuff wirelessly to volks around the world. YMMV, Mr. BZ-computer idiot |
