Depressed:(

Well, I tried. I got hold of an airport express base station and an airport extreme card. The base station is no problem. However, because I have an old Powerbook G4 (DVI) titanium, I shouldn't need an airport extreme - it should have airport fitted. However, there is definitely no card in the slot and since my hard drive was replaced with a G4 PowerPC chip when it burned out, I assumed that it did a runner then and further assumed the extreme card would fit into the new PowerPC drive. Unfortunately, the aerial in the machine is the old one, for an airport card. I cannot close the battery compartment with airport extreme fitted and so it's back to the drawing board. I hope nothing is more busted as a result (some sites say you shouldn't do what I just did).

So, does anyone have a second hand airport card? They are long since discontinued. I have a brand new unused airport extreme card for swops. I assume airport will work with airport express. If not, perhaps it's time to buy a new Mac.

Can you believe that John Lewis don't sell a Mac compatible USB phone? Not that I need one just yet, but one day....
