Yes, in fact it's the same thing. "Airport" is Apple's marketing name for the IEEE 802.11b specification, which it invented a year or two before the IEEE group invented their own marketing name of "Wi-Fi". : Can the port the card is in be used w/ a PC card? No. The Airport card's connectors are physically different than any PC Card. : (2) JUST IN CASE it is ever needed, do any USB-connected PCMCIA readers exist? If you mean "PCMCIA readers" as in PC Card adapters to read CompactFlash and that stuff, yes. Look at MacConnection.com and other vendors to see a selection. : (3) I remember passing by a few blurbs on list and elsewhere about : some problems (mobos?) that cropped up w/ the Rev A. iBooks; anything : to worry about, along the lines of my 2400c? Dunno, any original iBook owners want to comment? -- Eugene Lee eugene at anime dot net -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
