When I bought my SB1 it was still very much alive. Now my SB1 is still working fine but I can't use it on my G network :( I sure wish I'd bought a G SB1 then, I could still use it ;) An N-SB would probably last me longer. > G, on the other hand, is quite alive and well, and has significant > advantages over N in portable devices.

N-support would probably cost them dearly (you don't seem to be able to run an N router over Poe either). Apple does sell Airports and Airport Express with N-support. Why? Simply because people want them. And, as I believe they say in your country: The customer is always right ;) Regards, Peter _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
