Re: wireless networking possible for these three?
A thought from anyone knowledgeable... Is it possible to wirelessly network a g3, and two early model 233mhz imacs, all running 9.2? Well, it would have been easier until Lucent EOL'd the original Airport cards... You might still be able to purchase them somewhere... Actually, Greg Sharp pointed out that early model 233MHz iMacs don't have airport slots, you need at least a slot-loading iMac. So you'd need some form of wireless access point for each iMac, or a hub connecting both of them and a wireless access point. no antenna on the G3 - one of the old beige boxes... You may be able to find a PCI wireless card carrier (a normal wireless card in a carrier that plugs into a PCI slot) that will work under OS 8.6, but I wouldn't be holding my breath. Otherwise you'd need to hook it up using a wireless access point, which is all starting to get a bit expensive.

Some had built in Airport antennas, but would also need a card. As to sharing the printer, can you currently share the printer under 9.2? If not then don't expect it to work wirelessly. Have fun, Shay Apart from the problem with original Airport Cards reaching end of line status (though still available on eBay) I don't think old iMac 233's even have anywhere to put them. I think this capability was added to later models only (iMac 266's onwards). The G3 doesn't either but I think there are 3rd party solutions available using a spare PCI slot. All up though probably impossible to do what you want with that combination of Mac's. Sorry to bear the bad news.

Genuine 'Postscript' Colour A3 Laser printer
Can anyone please recommend a genuine Colour A3 'Postscript' Laser printer. We are looking to lease/purchase a new colour laser but after the intermittent troubles we've had with our 3 year old B/W Sharp Laser printer/copier I need to know that the new printer is a genuine 'Postcript' printer instead of one that just pretends to be.

Re: wireless networking possible for these three?
There are USB - Wireless adaters: D-Link DWL-122 http://dlink.com.au/Default.aspx?ArticleID=177 Don't know price, but pretty much all wireless network hardware companies have one... There are also direct PCI - Wireless Adapters available: http://dlink.com.au/default.aspx?FolderID=25 Also, for another option, you could use an ethernet - Wireless adapter...

I assume you mean that you're looking for a printer with an Adobe PostScript 3 engine embedded, rather than a PostScript Compatible such as those made by HP? If so, there's a world of choice out there - just make sure you pick one with the Adobe engine. You will pay a lot for that, though - there's a reason HP emulates it instead. I know Ricoh use Adobe PS in their high end printers, as do Xerox, and I expect the same is true of the lower end ones. No doubt many others do too. HP are the main ones I know of that don't use the Adobe RIP. It's worth noting that an Adobe PS RIP is no guarantee that the printer will work well. Our Xerox DocuPrint 4025 has been an unending nightmare with the macs. There's also no substitute for going to the showroom with a laptop that has your suite of production software installed and spending the next two hours printing torture tests. -- Craig Ringer
Midi Keyboard Advice
Dear WAMUGgers I'm looking at buying a midi/USB keyboard to use with Garageband at school, on an eMac or G4 iBook with plenty of RAM (~768). Any suggestions for a good quality beginner instrument? One I've looked at is the the Edirol PCR-30. Any advice for a total music mug is welcomed. Also, who is a good supplier of this sort of equipment, preferrably closer to Augusta WA than somewhere in the central desert? Regards Reg
Re: Midi Keyboard Advice
Reg, I have purchased the EDIROL PCR-80 which is the big brother of the PCR-30, and I'm really happy with it. The keys have a good feel, and the unit has a quality finish. Mind you, I've come nowhere near using its full capabilities.
