David Jericho complains that he had a hard time setting up a new Airport Express.  I’m not what caused his experience to go so badly but my parents managed to set up an Airport Express without any problems – I know because I’m using it right now.  You can troop out the old stalwart anti-Apple crap all you like but it doesn’t make it true.  Apple *does* play well with others, they go to great lengths to make their software compatible – it’s certainly not perfect but there’s a lot of good stuff in there to make compatibility easy – I know because I use Macs in cross-platform, cross-hardware situations on a daily basis.  Just because it didn’t do precisely the job you wanted it to on one particular occasion doesn’t mean that the company is crap.  Fortunately, Google had some good suggestions for David.

Same goes to those people who make the same mistake regarding Microsoft.  On Solaris 10 though I’d love to hear why David thinks it’s a lame duck since it’s my current learning project and I’m keen to hear all opinions on it.
