Wireless LAN, Apple Powerbook G4 and other things

It is perhaps appropriate that today is republic day. yippie.
i got to use a friend's apple powerbook g4, which is a fantastic example of apple's user interfaces, legendary creative GUIs and screen transitions - i can go on and on.
but the experience of the day is wireless lan. i have used wireless lan before at a railway station somewhere on some stranger's laptop. but to do the works - setup the connection, get the machine to detect the wireless lan in the vicinity etc is a novelty .
i am loving it, much like the mcdonalds ad.
its nearly 56 years since my dear country made the leap back into being on its own. and i like it.
nice to be using all this. i used the internet for the 1st time in my life in 1994. in abt 10 years we have actually got to a stage when we need no longer use wires. our learning curve has been pretty steep and the absorption of technology has been quick.
i am a big fan of the apple culture and used to follow the apple column in Business Week much like one would pursue a filmstar's every move. this powerbook experience is like finally getting to have dinner with that "star".
