There's a chain near me called Camille's Cafe that offers free Wifi connections, and me and my PPC'd PB 520 are not only regulars there, but the manager tells me that only a handful of people have taken advantage of the connections since they opened. Later.Howard

I am trying to get my PowerBook 3400 up and running with a WiFi card. Can't help with WiFi, but have you tried FireWire on your 3400? I'm looking for someone to swap notes with before I try this. USB is fine so far. BTW, you can use OT and Finder from 9.2 in 9.1 with no problems. Seems a

My guess is that the two would be about equal in speed. The CPU in the 1400c is going to be faster, but the entire subsystem of the Kanga is much faster--better graphics, better disk controller, PCI architecture. It's probably a wash, or very close to it. The most important factor, for me, would
