    Converting a Powerbook keyboard into a wireless desktop keyboard?

    Yea I guess I do have a personal affinity to the powerbook keyboard. So much, that if it requires me to take apart an existing wireless RF keyboard for parts, thats definitely ok. Let me know if anyone has some ideas. Thanks!

    802.1x Secure Implementation

    I know for a fact that under OS X 10.2 you have to intsall a 802.1x client. A lot of major universities are moving to this standard, which isn't even compatible with previous Mac OSes. But, even with that OS X 10.2 requires a client to work with the new WiFi Secure Standard. Also, from what...

    Alright, I've been trying and trying for days and days now with no luck running into me yet. MegaPhone originally came with an old Performa mac of mine, which ran off PowerPC. But I thought it'd be cool to have the PowerBook 180c act as a telephone and answering machine. Biggest problem...
