Re: XPostFacto
well, now it seems the kanga won't boot from the 10.3 disc 10.2 was nice that is worked with the wireless, but 10.3 is nicer. *sigh* I want kanga to recognize some old card that I know it has not before, never did until I put 10.3 on it, lost it when I went to 10.2.8, I can't get it to recognize the pcmcia card... heh.. I have plenty of machines to run X, but I want a few more. I guess these 20th anniversary's won't run with X, even though it would be nice. OH YEAH the kanga sometimes freezes in 10.. like the mouse will stop moving... -p On 25 Apr, 2005, at 00:29, Beniamino Cenci Goga wrote: ok.. maybe I was not making myself clear.. with X, it was not supposed to show more than 256 colors, AND the card NEVER worked. For me your question was pretty clear and straightforward... Probably being not mother tongue I need to read more carefully... BTW. I assume that Ryan Rempel (the creator of XPF) is a wise guy: I wish the same apple was more realistic in its adds, but this is another story... For instance I have used XPF on my 7600 with either G3 and G4 processors without a single problem that the read me stated. Video, voodoo 3dfx, SCSI devices, even the FW and USB cards were recognized. The only thing was the lack of internal floppy support, but this is an OS X feature (let's put it in this way...). So keep experimenting... gone are the times when ONE single extension, or a preference file made the difference... yesterday I installed the scanner driver on my PowerBook G4 and I learnt that the installer put more than 8 thousands files on the Mac HD. Is it still correct to refer to 8000 files simply as driver? But this is OT. The thing is that the Mac OS X universe is a whole new thing, even more holistic than before. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Wireless and my 1400
Dear Group, I found a nice 1400C, and I would like to get a wireless card for it. If I have a wireless card can I go to a Starbucks and open up my browser and surf, or do I have to to access via my ISP, which is Comcast, which I use with my iMac at home? I also want to get a wireless system at home and use my 1400 to go on-line, but Comcast said that the minimum system requirements are OS 9.0, and 128 MB of memory. My 1400 has OS 8.6, with a 250MHz G3 processor and 48 MB of memory. I guess that I can try to push it. When I get a wireless system at home can a visiting friend access my home wireless just like they would in a cafe, or would they have to have the Comcast Install Wizard on their machines? I contacted Comcast, and they sent me some links that indicated that they could set up a system for me, and that there would be a charge for additional computers, which could add up if one had several old computers or several old friends with computers, that is, if I'm interpreting the information correctly. I guess that my question is: What do I need to do to go wireless at the cafes; and if anyone has experience with Comcast, what do I need to do to go wireless at home?

Re: Wireless and my 1400
Hi Gary, Starbucks have their own network. You buy access from the cashier who will give you an access code and password on a card. When you open your PB, it should ask you if you want to join the Starbucks network. You click OK which will take you to the login page of the ISP they use. Scrape the two black patches off the back of the card which should give you the user ID code and the password. Enter these and you should be connected. Here in Thailand, Starbucks charges about US$3.75 for one hour - very expensive.

And thank you for the clear information. I'm going to try it now that I know how it works. One would think that for a $5.00 Latte; Starbucks could provide courtesy internet service for an hour.

Re: Wireless and my 1400
The problem with that is that many mobile businessmen would live in Starbucks and suck the bandwidth all day. x5 and you have a lot of bandwidth. Go to a busy Starbucks and everyone would be better on dial-up. But this way, they can charge you and you are a captive audience. They could afford it but why, when they can charge you for it?
