French army aims at airport

The french military was alarmed by the new wireless airport technology because their communication was based on the same 2,4GHZ band. Whoever uses Apple's new airport station risks a 30.000 Dollar fine and six months in jail - according to the National Military Bureau for Frequency Use. The wireless communication was up to then limited to a small amount of companies in the urban area, and the french army was quite alarmed by an expected fast increasing number of private users all over the country. In the first place airport cards sold in France were limited to the channels 10-13 ( USA channels 1-11).

Yes, the iBook is cool, if a little goofy looking, resembling a breath mint on steroids even more than the iMac does. And yes, it's a hot machine with impressive stats. But it won't be the 300 MHz G3 processor, the 32 Mbytes of RAM, the 56k modem, the built-in Ethernet, not even the low price tag that moves these things out the door.

No. What will sell the iBook is that Jobs understands that consumers want more than megahertz and memory -- they want to be entertained.
