It contains an anti-static coating that helps reduce the dust and dirt attraction that is usually present on computer screens. 2.) It also applies a polymer coating that helps protect the screen from minor scratches. I recommend their cleaning cloths as well. Klear Screen was recommended by Apple at one time for cleaning PowerBook screens.

looking before leaping

Re: looking before leaping
I'm using a G3 Lombard with a Cisco 350 802.11b (without antenna) in the PCMCIA slot. For the antenna, I found a model 278-844 Range-Extender Antenna (there are two in the pack) for $20.00 at Radio Shack and the card works great in both OS X and OS 9.2.2. A bonus is the card also works if you have Virtual PC installed because Virtual PC uses the Mac side IP to connect to the network/internet. When you get all your systems configured on your network, ensure you set your router up to accept both 802.11b and g. Most 802.11g routers default to accept on .11g hardware. J.A.

However, the iBook and the iMac don't have a slot for a PCMCIA card, so you'll never be able to have 802.11g on those. The only option of the iBook is the regular Apple AirPort card. The next problem you might face is the lack of a driver for such a card. I don't know if there is any driver available either for 9 or X.

You can expand it to meet new needs in minutes by adding new 'Free-Mail Accts., and never bother visiting them their Non-MAC friendly WEB Windozes.

Because wifi systems can only go as fast as the slowest system connecting I would buy a cheap Linksys 802.11b wireless router and access point. With the Ti powerbook and the Lombard I would get a third party 802.11b card for the PCMCIA slot. The Ti book can use apples airport but were plagued with bad wifi reception. With the iBook, I would just get an airport card. With the iMac you have two option, you can either just plug it into the router or you can pay more money and get an airport card for it.

Greg, Just pick up a snow Airport base station, pop in a regular Airport card in each Mac from eBay and configure the wireless network. Comcast highspeed internet service isn't worth the trouble of trying to get to 802.11g. The only real benefit of g is being able to transfer tiles to and from the computers within the network. 802.11g is great if your source is a dedicated or sometimes shared T1. You are most likely talking about a cable modem through Comcast. Comcast doesn't need to know how you are connecting. DON'T TELL THEM YOU HAVE YOUR OWN NETWORK. They will try to make you buy a bunch of crap you don't need. Sound like I've been there? Oh yea. They'll say stuff like you need a special router and fill you up with nonsense. Heck, I've been online via cable modem and aDSL via my phone line in several different places over the years. . .(move a lot), and no matter where I go, the Airport system goes with me. Everyone keeps focusing on how much faster Airport Extreme is, but they keep forgetting the speeds of consumer connections on average. Remember this: The maximum bandwidth on regular Airport (802.11b) is up to 11 mbps. So far, the fastest consumer connection available within a reasonable price is up 3 to 3.5mbps. So. . .why bother with Extreme? Extreme is more for a business with an insanely fast source connection that's planning on transferring giant files to each computer within the network. Hope this helps, Z THE BLUETOOTH MASTER My system: Apple Airport Snow, Linksys Wired Router (got at WalMart for $17.95), PowerMac G4/867, PowerBook G3/500 (Pismo), iBook G4/800, Powerbook G4 17, and last but not least. . .ol' trusty as we call it. . .a G4 cube. The desktops are wired to the router, and the base station plugs into the router as well. The ibook and powerbooks then get their signal from the station.

Re: looking before leaping
[Info on T1 and DS3 lines deleted] At any rate, an 802.11b connection could quite easily saturate a T1 line, shared or not :) Steve -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

reinstalling X
O.k. - I guess I've decided to reinstall the accompanying software onto my brand new powerbook. Only one person answered my post, and they were in favor of my doing so. No one has warned me NOT to do it. So this is what I want to know: Since I have 9.2.2 and Panther on my iMac, and since it is CCC'd onto my external HD, do I need to install Classic onto my powerbook? I'm thinking that I just want X and beyond on this computer. I've basically phased out of my apps requiring 9. Has anyone felt crippled by NOT installing Classic support at all on their G4 computers?
