I see the same picture wherever it is advertised, but I don't see how that big ole thing could possibly fit underneath my keyboard. Am I looking at the wrong part, have I a misinformed perspective on its scale, or is it just a damn miracle that Apple could find a way to stick that in there?

    CF? What's that?



    How about a credit card? Something like that, except a bit thicker, perhaps?

    compact flash...



    think half a credit card down the middle...



    there should probably be dimensions at http://www.apple.com/airport/



    ok, so there arn't... but if you are familiar with PC card sizes (the old airport card) take a look at this...



    http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/specs.html



    those pics are to scale I believe and shows the size difference between the Extreme card and the old one...

    Wow, that's tiny! I guess that makes much more sense.



    From the picture, I had been thinking it was the size of a CD case.

    Ah, yes. That certainly puts it in perspective. Thanks!



    Now does anybody know where I can get one new/used on the cheap?
