    is this connection possible?

    personally, I would buy an adsl modem router with 80211.g (wireless connection), which is a standalone box which will be left on and connected to the internet 24/7. Then I would probably connect your mums pc by ethernet cable to the modem router and then get a 80211.g card (wireless connection)...

    Help with Airport Express

    Are you using this in conjunction with another wireless network? (ie Airport or Netgear router...) If so try changing the wlan channel on your router to 12, this resolved issues for me. Also try resetting the airport express as in the manual, and starting again.

    I have both a netgear router (which connects me to the net wirelessly,) and an Airport Express (which I use for stand alone speakers, wireless printing and it does extend the wireless range.) Just get one!! So easy to set up, it's worth the cash. The wireless printing is a major plus too. I...

    is it wise to buy a Mac now?

    Unreadable data-CDs (10.3.9)

    It sounds like the cd drive could be on its last legs. I have found that when a cd drive is nearing the end of its life first you get discs that it wont play when they should and it goes on from there. then again it could be that you just need to clean the cd drive with a lens cleaning disc.

    Should I spend the extra for a super drive?

    My advice would be to spend the extra. Whilst right now you don't burn many dvd's, who knows what you may require in two years time..... Get it all done at once and save all the hassle later. Very useful for backing up too, as well.
