I am sitting in the living room in my blue recliner with the alienware laptop in my lap. It is the heaviest lap top I have owned.It feels warm but not as hot as the MacBook. I am writing this with Notepad and had to go to the Format menu and select Word Wrap so I would not just get one line of type. The next step was to attempt to log on to the airport extreme network, using the 13 character password and believe it or not I was able to log on. I thought I would try to see if I could print to the HP 4600 which is connected to the same switch as the airport extreme. Next step was to run Firefox and voila I was on the internet with the alienware computer via the airport extreme. This is great, now let's see if I can print this document out with the HP 4600. Well that was successful now there should no reason why my PowerBook and G4 should not be able to connect to the internet via the airport and Earthlink DSL connection. I am now watching Blair Tractor IV: Best in Fest Part 1 on YouTube. The wireless connection seems to be working just great now. Now I should fire up the MacBook and get it working on the airport. I was going to call the apple help line again today if it did not work. I also got the elapsed account with City of Heroes reestablished. Billy Batson and Sleeeeeeper seem to be in good shape. Now let's see if I can post this to my iPhone blog (even if it was not created with Notes on the iPhone).

Here is an addition to the 10-5-07 post. October 5, 2007
I just downloaded an upgrade for iTunes/iPhone and I now have a new icon on my iPhone in the 4th previously empty row. It is a purple iTunes download icon. When I clicked on it, it asked for a WiFi connection. This afternoon I had connected my old airport (not the extreme) to the switch for the cable modem. I selected it, entered the password and the iTunes store came up on my iPhone. I did not buy and download anything but it was good to know it worked and that the old airport was connected properly and working. The cable modem connection to the Internet was also making one of its brief on periods.
