Apparently, nobody at Apple has ever considered the idea that you might
want to access the internet outside of a city, worse, away from
civilization - for example, sitting in a field or, oh, I dunno, how
about in a hotel where the connection cost is as much as the room. No
PCMCIA slot. Apple has always presented itself as a religion and I
guess they're thinking that if you switch from Windows you should
divest yourself of all those nasty wordly things like PCMCIA cards that
allow your laptop to be a useful tool rather than a fashion accessory.


Gee, that's funny. Many Dell, Sony, and Toshiba laptops do not come with PCMCIA slots, either.

PCMCIA is dead. The consortium that invented and used to support it is abandoning it in favor of ExpressCard/34, the new standard designed to replace PCMCIA.

MacBook Pro laptops come with ExpressCard/34 slots.



just uses a cell phone as a modem
blue tooth rules ok
