Airport Express

I installed an Apple Airport Express today, just for pushing my iTunes playlists from my XP PC through to my stereo. The wireless was crap (low signal, because my house is made of bricks, not plasterboard), but I installed CAT5 into my lounge last year and it works a treat.

I have been meaning to do this for ages and was wandering around PC World and there it was, calling out to me. It took hours to find the info via various forums for using Ethernet cable instead of wireless, but eventually, it all fell into place. I am now waiting for a posh optical cable to connect the AE to my amp.

I have tried another 'Media Adaptor', but it wouldn't work with iTunes playlists, so that will be on £Bay soon.

On another totally unrelated matter, my wife has a friend who works in Next - do you know they have competitions for the best 'looking' employees? How crass is that!
