50 extra bucks for an AirPort modem port?
Okay, say i wanna buy a 12-inch MiniPB to go along with my 1999 vintage slot-loading iMac. Say I want to use AirPort to the MiniPB can use my dialup Internet access.
It looks like they're not selling the old non-Extreme base stations anymore. And I need the modem port, so I have to cough up $249 for the Extreme base with the modem port.
I'll be paying for more technology than I can use at the moment. I don't wanna set up my own "hotspot" that can be used by 50 users at lightning-fast speeds. I just want to share dialup with one laptop.
Ah well. The price of progress. At least I can afford the 50 bucks.

<strong>I had read that you also get wireless USB printer sharing included too. Can anyone confirm?</strong><hr></blockquote>
I did hear Jobs making statements to this effect during his keynote, yes. I guess that is a confirmation.
