Anyway I'm a little confused about this whole wireless Internet thing. We don't have DSL at my house yet, so when the time comes to set that up I can probably figure it out. But if I want to go somewhere that has free wireless internet...like the library or something...can I just like say like 'Turn Airport On' and it will set it up when I open Safari? Is there anything special I need to do?
My computer seems sad not being hooked up to the Internet. I still love it though. I'm using Voice Commands like it's my job. I'm so lazy but it's so fun. I also am obsessed with PhotoBooth. How fun is it to stare at yourself? (after asking that question I immediately thought of...
)I'm even going to post some of the good times with PhotoBooth....
So if someone could let me know about the whole wireless thing that would be great.
GO JFK BEARS at Homecoming today!!!!!
First thing to do is go to the network prefs (system prefs, under the apple menu, click the grey globe-y thing). There should be an airport section... click the little box at the bottom that says "show airport in menu bar". Then you get a little menu way over at the right... like a little wedge of radio waves... then you can use that menu to turn it on and off, and join networks. Any available networks should show up. Just pick one. If it asks for a password, try another. Sometimes coffee shops make you enter a special password... I know this is kind of vague, but it really does "just work" most of the time... you can email me if you need more specific help and I can try. Or, Paul can probably help better than I can.
