    Where would I get an AirPort (not express, just the basic old one) card? Is it one-size-fits-all-Macs?

    AFAIK you can no longer get them from apple direct(or the dealers) unless you have a dead one. Your only recourse is buying one over the web. Try http://www.macwireless.com/html/products/11g_11b_cards/airportcard.php or Ebay.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    ebay is really the only option. Expect to pay over €90 landed no matter where you get it from, unless someone has undervalued it.

    If you are using OS X you may want to consider a USB dongle offering. D-Link make some,

    Peteer, as I've PM'd you, this is not for me but for an acquaintance who's got an old PowerBook. He's not very Mac-savvy, but knows it's a 15" PowerBook running at 867MHz.

    Now, I'm *assuming* that it's an AirPort he needs and that it won't take an AirPort Express. I don't know the actual model. He's away till the weekend so I can't ask him right now to find the manual - not that the manual is likely to say.

    I have an Airport base (802.11b) complete & boxed for sale that contains an Airport card inside it. 100 quid if anyone interested.

    No worries,

    I'll await your contact. It's the older type of card.

    Kind regards,
    Peter

    My acquaintance is back from abroad tomorrow, I think, so I'll be able to take it or not at that stage. If not, the road's open.

    Sorry, he's coming back *Saturday*. Damn these odd working weeks, I always think Friday's Saturday.
