Good book, but parochial view point

This book is a great step forward for someone who has a Mac Mini, an Apple, or Mac OS X wireless system, and a missing/inadequate instruction manual. However, the book is myopic. It says little about how to hook my Dell desktop or a similar Windows-based PC to the wireless system. Our Mac Mini is in the Game room on the other side of the kitchen. When my AirPort router died [days it's 1 Year warranty expired], I decided not to buy a $130 replacement but to get a more powerful $90 ZyXEL router, researched and bought through Amazon, for my Dell PC and DSL connection. This gives a much stronger signal to my Mac Mini and the rest of the network. No more feeble signal via the AirPort router. The ZyXEL is a joy to have. Of course I can't get my Mac Mini to recognize my Dell PC to trade messages or documents. I plan to sell it while I still can. I am rooting for Microsoft's rumored new PC to blossom and force Apple and Mac to be (gasp!) user friendly. Meanwhile, I will share messages and documents between the Mac and the Dell with a USB flash drive. The book is no help to me.
