[MLB-WIRELESS] Orinoco Gold & Airport - yay :)

[Grant McHerron]

Hi Gang,

I just helped a client out over the weekend - he had a new HP laptop and an 
existing Apple Airport that he wanted to use. Based on knowledge gained 
from the MW Wiki entry, a friends lamentations about Airports & Orinoco 
Silvers plus the usual "Orinoco is the best" comments, I figured an Orinoco 
Gold card was the way to go. Harris Tech still have a few left under the 2x 
Orinoco Gold cards for $150 so the client ordered that, I turned up and 
(with a copy of freebase - freebase.sourceforge.net) we were away. 
Everything up, configured and way more secure than how it was before.

Best bit was the client gave me the second Orinoco Gold card to cover my 
time (in addition to a small "thanks" payment). Neat :)

So there ya go - it *is* possible to learn things from camping out on the 
MW mailing list :)

Not to mention a few pages on the web. This is the information we need more 
journo's to concentrate on - despite the crap of SPAM, porn and piracy, the 
potential of the 'net for learning & "just in time" knowledge is 
incredible. I'd be dead in the water without it (in everything I do: work, 
play, life, etc - mind you, this could explain some of the *wierd* 
attitudes I seem to have picked up over the past few years :)

Cheers,

Grant
