Response to: Should Expand on Apple's Base Station Recall

If I had more concrete official information to pass along, I would. But like Derrick I haven't been able to find it. All I can find is posts on the web in various places that talk about a recall. In fact, the place on the web that seems to give the most complete information is linked from the article.


http://www.vonwentzel.net/ABS/Repair.html


The page behind this link even gives a serial number range of units covered by the recall.


In any case, when my base station went down and I started writing this article, there wasn't even that. And it was out of warranty, and definitely so once I popped it open and tried to fix it.


The intent of this article wasn't to continue to bemoan the loss of my trusty airport base station so much as to talk about some options in the wireless world that I researched when replacing my base station with a more feature rich solution for about the same amount of money.

    Erm, I meant to say "when my base station went down and I wrote the weblog before this article..."

    Now if there were just an "edit your comment" button. :)
