That mass of wires and cables under your desk doesn’t have a name, although some of the more clever suggestions I’ve heard are corducopia, quagwire, and nerdnest. In the end, though, it doesn’t much matter because, let’s face it, wires are so last century. Wireless is the way to go, and MacBook Air is designed to thrive in a wireless world. In this chapter, you learn how to take advantage of MacBook Air’s wireless features to connect to a network and Bluetooth devices, operate a remote DVD drive, view the MacBook Air screen on a TV, and transfer settings from another Mac.
