You'd think this wireless internet stuff was something new
Sorry, I just don't have a full column in me this evening. But I did find it rather interesting that any number of companies are currently plugging wireless internet for laptops in their television commercials as if it's the next big thing. Interesting, of course, because wireless internet has been commonplace and almost second-nature on the Mac platform for years and years now (five of them, to be exact). Boring stuff, really. And yet, here in 2004, it's just now beginning to filter its way down to that other platform. Yoy know, you'd almost think that we Mac users get all the good stuff years before anyone else. Perhaps it's because we do.
Just food for thought. If you're looking for some good stuff to read today, check out all the cool new stuff going on over at MacUsingEducators. We're obviously in transition over there right now (temporary template look a little familiar?), but there's lots of new content, and we're excited about where things are headed.
As for me, I'm going to sit down and watch Shaq's debut with the Miami Heat (his hamstring had better not keep him from playing tonight), watch the latest episode of The West Wing (Leo McGarry had better not be dead), and get a full night's sleep (something I haven't done in awhile).
See you tomorrow.
