That's a good idea, but I don't think it'll help Kathi.

Your Quicksilver shouldn't have any problem with Tiger.  You certainly
don't need any kind of wireless card to run Tiger.  Perhaps they meant
that you need Airport if you want to experience every last feature
that Tiger offers, including wireless connectivity.  If you're just
going to plug in an ethernet cable then there's no reason to add an
Airport card to the computer.

Everyone, please accept my apology. I have Airport on the brain lately. It
does read Firewire. And I DO have Firewire built in. I was planning on
putting in a pair of new hard drives anyway, probably a pair of 128s.
I also have a Digital Audio G4 that I did that with and they work fine.
