Airport Extreme... Can I make it so it doesn't check for it automaticaly upon start up? Because I fear this may cause some problems if I happen to be using my PB on an airplane :)

Right, up in the menu bar (on the right side) you should see the airport icon (like a wedge of cheese)

Click this and make sure your airport status is:eek:ff

I'd always leave it at this setting unless you need to use airport as you'll save battery life...

And yes just switch it off before you get on the plane.

Have a safe flight!

You don't have to turn it off, wireless networking is fine on planes. In fact, if you fly Lufthansa and they provide you with a wireless broadband connection to use.
Their site for more information:

They've made this cute picture with an Apple mouse!
