Do you already have something plugged into your Ethernet port? If not, I'd get an Ethernet wireless adapter instead of a USB adapter. Reason: when you put too much stuff on the USB ports, things start getting funky. Similarly, the more drivers you have to install, the greater the chances for conflict. Plus, USB is slow. The Ethernet port is fast and it's made for networking, you might as well use it for that. Ethernet to wireless adapters require NO drivers, they're all Mac compatible. Most networking companies make one, and many make a faster version that can take advantage of Airport Extreme networks (or the equivalent). I think the prices are about the same as the USB versions. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
