Intelbook? I would keep all of the original names. But really, the new names sound horrible. I really like all of the old names. To think of it, the box scheme makes no sense anymore. the Macbook and the Macbook pro should stay there. The air has to be the new Macbook or iBook or it has to go.

A quick check with Mactracker says that it's not PCI. The 6100 has either a PDS slot, or a NuBus slot. Neither of which are compatible with PCI cards. I doubt that there ever were any wireless cards made for PDS or Nubus. -Elliott On Oct 29, 2010, at 9:48 PM, Mystic Prowler wrote:
