Airport Extreme
I was wondering, is the airport extreme card compatible to work with any wireless router that uses Wi-Fi? Or do I have to buy the airport extreme base station? On the other hand, can normal pc's use the airport extreme's base station? When I was at the apple store yesterday I saw a guy with a pc laptop sitting on a couch outside of the apple store (this mall has couches and seats all over the place) I think he was stealing internet from the apple store, so I think pc laptops can work with airport extreme.

Also, the Airport Extreme basestation and all other 802.11g basestations, support both 802.11g (Airport Extreme) and 802.11b (Airport) clients, so someone with a regular Airport card can still use them.
Anyways, thanks for the info
And to answer your question, airport will work with PeeCees and airport cards will work with other base stations. However, you have to have appropriate antenna for it to work well or you will get no signal.
I have it set up in the basement and can access the internet from all over the house(three bars on the airport meter).
It is fantastic. I can even print to the beige G3( upgraded to a G4/500MHz/784Mb/120Gb/Radeon 7500) print server downstairs.8)
