Hello all.

The best speed improvement in this case, was using iCab with the images

No speed demon, but plenty fast for him.
He is running OS 8.1 with 48 megs of ram. Skyline wireless card.
As for Ethernet card and wireless, they wont coexist at the same time 
on a
PB 1400. Your Ethernet will be limited to 10mb. A good choice would be

My 1400 has a 250 MHz G3 in it. It is in great shape and just too nice

I'm going to give it a try.

If it doesn't work out, I'll wait for the rumored new small powerbook

 Hi ACFX44501,
Sounds like a nice town, and I guess that I should shop around.
Where is your town, and how do you access the internet in those free

Roger said that in Starbucks when you open your powerbook it asks if 
you
want to join the Starbucks Network. Do the free cafes have something 
similar?

Take care.

I've been reading too much e-mail.  Most of my mailing list mail is 
either about Macs or Railroads.  I looked at this message and it 
seemed like they had completely crossed.  ACFX is a railroad reporting 
mark for American Car and Foundry Leasing (X for Leasing). So 
ACFX44501 sounds like a railroad car.  That and the previous messages 
I just read were from a railroad group including a message from a 
Roger.

Anyway
One day while waiting for some railfan friends I went into a Burger 
King and noticed they had free wireless access.  So I grabbed the 
laptop and checked it out.  You start by going to any web page.  A web 
page comes up for Internet access.  You had to create a user ID and 
password.  It's then supposed to send you an e-mail to confirm. They 
do this to limit abuse.  First problem, the web page never went past 
this point.  Second problem, you can't check your e-mail to confirm 
your access until you connect elsewhere so it's kind of hard to use 
the first time. So I went on line with my cell phone and there is the 
confirmation e-mail.  So I used that and was able to get "access".   
Problem three, I could only access the website for this service.  
Overall I was not impressed.

I have heard of similar services though that do use some sort of login 
using a web page like the above.

I've also used wireless access at a couple of doctor's offices lately 
and in that case it was simply a matter of joining that network.

Hi Clark,
Thank you for your reply, and you found a good fix around Burger King's 
Catch 22 web access. I started to think about Franz Kafka.

Being a Railfan, there are a couple of Yahoo Groups that you might be 
interested in, or know about. They are the "monorailsociety" and 
"UrbanMaglev".
Lots of interesting information about moving people, and the leading 
edge of rail and rail-less transportation.
The Monorail Society has an interesting web site:

Take care.

Starbucks have their own network.  You buy access from the cashier who

You click OK which will take you to the login page of the ISP they

Wireless and my 1400

[Gary Zamzow]

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?

Thank you much for any information.

Could it have been a Powerbook 2400, or do other Powerbooks have the

I wish that I would have paid more attention at the time.
Small, it might have been a 2400, but I didn't think it had that kind  
of case.

Part of the cases on the Wallstreet/Lombard/Pismo line had the same  
rubbery coating, as did the Newton in it's various incarnations (but  
that would have been really small).

It could also have been a customized iBook or 12" Powerbook. be cool  
if someone's learned how to apply that coating to existing systems

Powebook with skin like an IBM ThinkPad?

[Gary Zamzow]

Dear List,
A while back I saw an Apple Powerbook that was small, square, and the 
case
had sort of a rubbery cover like an IBM ThinkPad Laptop.

Could it have been a Powerbook 2400, or do other Powerbooks have the 
same type of case covering?
I wish that I would have paid more attention at the time.

Thank you much.
New to the list.
Gary Z
