Fake Airport Card

So co-worker Leitha bought an Airport Card off eBay and found she needed an Airport Express card instead. Being a hoarder of all things Apple, I was able to swap her one for the card she got.

But her card, mes amis, does not seem entirely kosher. Sure, it looks mostly like an Apple card, and it has an Apple MAC address, but it fits in a PCMCIA slot, which Apple cards don't, and the labels on there are a bit cruder and have less detail than the real ones.

In the words of the Fry Macro, "Oh, I see what you did there".

it's nice having all of the extra accessories, though! i leave one powercable at home, and one at uni... and having a spare battery is all kinds of great!

Will you ship to the US? :)

The sans-serif font on the fake label is also the wrong one. It looks like they used Arial instead of Helvetica.

My relabeled genuine Airport cards are coming today or tomorrow. Win!
