| Wireless on a G3 Hi Everyone. I'm having some trouble that I hoped someone here could help me with. I just bought an iMac G3 333Mhz "Fruity Colors" for $20. It's running OS 10.3. I plan on taking it with me when I go to college. The only problem that I'm facing is the fact my dorm has phased out their wired network and has gone completely wireless. Everything that I'm reading about this particular model says that it does not support Airport. If that is the case, will a USB adapter work? And if so, any brands that you could recommend? Or am I S.O.L. on putting this computer on wireless? Should probably mention that up until now I’ve been using windows machines. The Mac is a new and strange thing to me. I appreciate any help that I can get.  |

| You could also get a wireless bridge, which would "convert" the wireless signal to ethernet. Here's one: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satel...VisitorWrapper http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/9343/picture6xe8.png
