I can't wait to make it there once! It is on my list of things to do so it will happen one day. Any tips or suggestions to make the visit enjoyable? You're probably an expert by now.

I have an extremely well-paying (and stable) job in which I answer to almost nobody. As a result, I am free to dress as I wish. Maybe *you* should've studied harder in school, or chosen a better line of work. And who's the one that spend all kinds of time searching for small deals? I'm not the one that arrived here from a search engine looking for credit card deals. Dude, no offense, but you seem like a total jackass.

For music I use yahoo music have to put up with the odd commercial (much less than commercial Radio) but it's free and I've discovered loads of new bands.

However, the Airport Express is a mini basestation that has print server functionality, AirTunes, and can also be used to extend an existing network, and not an airport card. I actually use all of the functions. Our network didn't used to reach every corner of the house, but now it does since the Express picks up and re-broadcasts the signal. As I mentioned above, we also use it for streaming iTunes to our stereo. Finally, we have a big built-in entertainment center with a giant (and formerly empty) cabinet underneath the TV. That's where I put the Express (mainly so it would be near the stereo), and I soon realized that there's room for our laser printer down there, too. Previously it had been hidden away upstairs, but now we have ready access to stuff that we print without running upstairs. All in all, this is a great little gadget for $99.

I was actually referring to my work e-mail. For my personal stuff I use gmail and don't bother archiving things because the search is so powerful and fast. If I need to find something, I just run a quick search. As for my work e-mail, I actually do have an archiving system, but I just haven't been keeping up with it. There was a time when I would go through every Friday (at worst) and either deal with, delete, or archive everything in my inbox. I need to get back to that. Karen: Thanks, but I already have one.

Much cheaper than buying the real thing, and work just as well. A friend of mine makes and sells his own airport cards on eBay. Much cheaper than buying the real thing, and work just as well.
