1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING - not compatible with Intel Macs, August 19, 2008

By	LRE - See all my reviews

This product does not work when connected to an Intel Mac running 10.5 (Leopard). Keyspan has been acquired by Tripp Lite and after several frustrating adventures with their tech support, it appears that there is no plan for further development activity. This would seem to be a dead product, at least with respect to the Mac.

5.0 out of 5 stars It rocks, July 28, 2005

By	S. Murphy (NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had it for about six months and never been happier. Great addition to my airport express. My batteries have lasted all this time on the original set. Sounds like that other reviewer may have a bad unit. Highly recommended.
