What? That would drive me crazy. I wonder if the new one is any better. All of my other machines (macs & pc's) are gigabit.

There are some Gigabit USB adapters that you can buy. They are apparently Mac compatible. Of course, with USB2 peaking at less than half GB ethernet's speed, it's still just an OK solution.
