The only other computer that supports wireless access is my trusty PowerBook
Pismo. I don't have any problem seeing my printer. That's actually what I
did when I tried to access the printer wirelessly from my Newton. I switched
my PowerBook to AirPort and checked in the PrintCenter to see if the printer
was there. It was...

************************* Usual disclaimers apply *************************
evil and rude adj.: Both evil and rude, but with the additional connotation
that the rudeness was due to malice rather than incompetence. Thus, for
example: Microsoft's Windows NT is evil because it's a competent
implementation of a bad design; it's rude because it's gratuitously
incompatible with Unix in places where compatibility would have been as easy
and effective to do; but it's evil and rude because the incompatibilities
are apparently there not to fix design bugs in Unix but rather to lock
hapless customers and developers into the Microsoft way. Hackish evil and
rude is close to the mainstream sense of `evil'.
