University Wireless Woes

So here's my situation: I'm currently living in the dorms at Bradley University in Peoria, IL. The dorms do not have wireless, only a wired connection to the school's network. I have a G4 tower, and a 1400c with an Orinoco Gold card. The G4 has built in Airport, and is running Tiger. The 1

Somebody sent me a hot MRJ downloads link - relating to gettin LimeWire to run on System 7. Well I installed the latest 7.6.1 compatible version of MRJ, and it worked fine, but LimeWire wont run. Anyway that version requires Appearance Manager which I hate and is annoying so I want to re-download
