Hi Eric:
Good point, except that the wireless configuration is kind of unique.
We've set up a multi-point wireless network across about a one-mile radius,
and, in order to reach the network, the computer (B&W) has to accept a PCI
wireless card, because the card has to hook up to a 19db antenna via RP-SMA
connector, and haven't seen any external wireless adapters with an antenna
mount on them. That's the only real reason I'm considering a B&W -- AGP G4s
are still more expensive on the market than they're worth IMHO, and the B&W
is the lowest-end machine I can get into and be able to both (a) run 10.3,
and (b) slap in a PCI card.
It's really slick to be able to stream from itunes from one house to four
others, though. :-)
