It was my first meeting last night and I'd also like to thank Lee. Wish I could have stayed till the end but couldn't. Lee, do any of the cell phone carriers that offer wireless notebook cards work with the Mac notebooks? I know folks such as Sprint and T-Mobile do with portable PCs. Keep up the good work and thanx again Lee.
