Been a bit thin with the posting lately. My sister Imogen, however, is quite prolific. She's in Austria right now.

I've been attempting to get my G3 Pismo working with Airport, using a Belkin PCMCIA 802.11g card. After reading various comments on internet forums regarding which of these third-party cards will work with the Airport installer, I've come to the conclusion that they simply won't work with Mac OS Tiger, until a new driver is available.. It seems lots of people are waiting for a driver to be written, so I think I'll have to take a number and join the queue...

Eyeteeth blog

Just started reading Paul Schmelzer's Eyeteeth blog, having arrived there from Adbusters.

almost a new Mac!

Entered my fourth decade last week. And on an unrelated note I've just installed OS 10.4 on the G3 Pismo. Seems to work ok, although it's no speed demon. I had planned on installing it in parallel with the existing OS 9 but it wasn't having it so a clean install was the go. The copy of Tiger came with a trial version of iWork so I've been playing around with the new version of Keynote.
