musings of a crackpot hacker

Got my mac

Kind of annoyed. Since it wasn't in the “Previous Generation iBook” section, I thought it was a G4. As it turns out, it's a G3. I'm going to play with it tonight, and if it's too slow, I'll send it back.

Of course, this means that the AirPort Extreme (802.11g) that I bought doesn't work with it, because the G3's only take Airport (802.11b). This is, of course, slightly annoying. Damnable cables.

Liz's roommate is planning on buying an “AirPort Extreme ready” PowerBook in a month or two, so maybe she'll take it. Or, Liz might take it. Dunno yet.

One thing at a time. Need to see if it's too sucky slow. If it is, I might end up getting a G4 iBook and using it, you know?

I was worried about the video card, but it's a Radeon 7500, which is okay. (That hardware OpenGL is kind of nice, you know?)
