Printing has entered the wireless age. Steve demonstrates how easy it is to setup a printer on your wireless network with the HP PhotoSmart C6300 and the HP PhotoSmart C8180 printers. There is no longer a need for cables to be strewn about your office. And now you can connect multiple computers to the same printer even from different parts of your house.

On this episode Steve takes us on an Apple adventure. First he introduces us to the slender Mac Book Air, a laptop so thin it fits in a manila envelope. The new notebook features a full-size keyboard and a backlit LED 13.3-inch display. It also ships with a built-in iSight camera, a solid-state drive, and a new larger track pad which supports multi-touch gestures.  This means that just like the iPhone, you'll be able to pan around your photos, pinch to zoom in or out, and rotate with only two fingers!
