However when Laptopconnect was sold to me, I was told I could also use ANY AT&T hotspot for Internet access. This is not the case on a Macintosh (OS X) laptop. The AT&T Laptopconnect program requires the use of proprietary software for account validation. This software is not natively support on OS X. This is true.

Of course it works on a Mac (MAC is the unique address for every computer, Mac is short for Macintosh). It's probably your browser's cookies and such preventing you from connecting correctly. Any browser on any computer should be able to get to apple.com and starbucks.com over the attwifi in any starbucks, as well as accessing the iTunes store. Irv: What?

I subscribed to AT&T laptopconnect and while the cell card works fine the promised WIFI access is not available for MAC users. Too bad they don’t support using their hotspots from a MAC.
