After about a week...

So it's been about 5 days since I received the Air.  I have to say that I am still very impressed and delighted with the product.  In the last week, I have networked my Air at home, networked my Air at my in-laws, and just yesterday, I was able to configure it at work.  Interestingly enough, with the right amount of instruction, the configuring at work turned out to be easier than the home networks.

Thus my biggest frustration has been around the learning curve and what I feel is a lack of appropriate instruction in one place for people migrating from Windows to Leopard.  Of course, I have to put my downside experience in proportion to overall.  I still rate this around 8 or 9 out of 10 when you put everything together.  My biggest pain point has been trying to get the Air to recognize the share drives on my HP laptop.  Sometimes it is auto-there.  When it is not, I have a heck of time trouble-shooting.  There are no instructions yet that I have found which tells me how to connect.  Bonjour, which I installed on the HP is supposed to be zero-config, which makes me think the Air should see it.  I struggled with this last night and finally gave up.
