Have you actually seen that to be fixed, or are you going on Apple's
"Yes, we know it's a problem."

If I drop money on a new iBook, I'd really rather not also drop
money on another WaveLAN card (since I obviously can't use my
existing one, since that will obviously turn into the stereo's
remote control ;^>).

I'm going to let the Mach/OSF bit slide. We'll never agree, it's not
worth trying, or enough of a difference in the real world to be
worth arguing (again). :^>
