There's no RF shielding (or, the manufacturer is pretty stupid if there is) on the antenna of my Prism2 card, and it's range, while better than a tiBook, is nowhere near that of my (un-extended by antenna attachment) WaveLAN card. So, again, has anyone actually USED these new laptops and OBSERVED that Apple's problem is fixed, or is this all still marketing paint? (Not accusing anyone here of lying, I'd just like to know whether the promise of a fix holds up in the real world, not that Apple promises it's fixed.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
