Hey guys,
I volunteer at a neighborhood charity that teaches kids how to read. This
is the most selfish volunteering in the world, because I live in a ghetto
and I hope the kids learn to read, go to college, and don't mug me. Anyway,
they had an iMac donated to them. It's a 'looks like a lamp' iMac, with a
round bass and a swivel kinda display thing. It has no wireless card installed.
Are there decent 802.11 USB devices with Mac drivers? If so, which ones?
If not, how do I make it wireless capable short of an ethernet -> 802.11
box?
Thanks,
TCB

Cool, I like the lampy iMacs.
Google "imac airport card" - it looks like there are some possibilities.
Cheers,

You could also check into a USB-based wireless adapter.
Check out:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/wireless/
Scroll down to USB / USB 2.0 Wireless Adapters...
MacSales is a great place to deal with. Great prices & support and FAST shipping.

coming on me.
