Kate,
Save yourself some money. The G5 iMac has Airport Extreme built in,
and can act as the base station.
Stuart.
P.S. Save some aggro as well (and more money), get the wired mouse!

Subject: airport vs. airport express?

Hi All,
I've been subscribed and reading for 6 months, but if I remember
rightly, this is my first message to this list.
I have had nothing but nightmares with my Netgear wireless router (it
used to work for days but now drops me 10x a day, and I have
extensively tested EVERY troubleshooting technique people have posted
on the web, to no avail). Anyway, I am now in the market for an
airport or airport express. I have a small apartment and use a cable
modem.
I am wondering if there is any reason to get an Airport Extreme, which
is $79 plus tax more than the Express? The Express does have a
firewall and other security features, but maybe someone who understands
these things better than me can tell me why the expensive version is
worth it? Or not?
If it makes a difference, I plan to use it with a G4 powerbook with
Airport Extreme 802.11g card, and an imac (either an old G3 or a new
G5) I hope to get soon!
