WTB: AirPort Base Station

2004-01-21 Thread David de la Hunty
Hi all, Looking for an AirPort base station for work, to link 2 laptops (one with an airport card, one without). I don't need big bandwidth so don't want to buy the new Extreme. Anyone have one spare or looking to upgrade an older one? If so please contact me off list. Cheers, David

Hi muggers I think Apple got some pretty good advertising in the above film...a new 15 powerbook sitting on the desk in many scenes of the movie. If you want to see a really enjoyable film, have a look at this one...it is really funny. regards chris

I have a 12 PowerBook G4, about 9 months old now, running 10.3.2, that has been doing really odd things with the battery lately. I finally found the time to look into it properly, and downloaded X-Charge... which makes really pretty graphs of battery charge ;) Odd things I've seen this morning

I can not attest to being technical apt with the newer (post NiCad) battery types but given that my 1 year old 1G PowerBook will sit in sleep mode for at least 48 hours and still have enough grunt to wake up makes me suspect that you may have a faulty battery. Interstingly my powerbook will
