I know you can use Airport .11b but can you use a .11g/n card in the pcmcia slot and get the performance from it? If so, what's a good card to buy? Also, what is the most recent version of OS X that you can load on one of these, as a stock G3? Does that change if I put in a G4 processor upgrade? TIA.

Message-ID: <68E00080-E5CD-4202-A4DE-F2F3E932BBFD@gmail.com> The HD on my 15" 1.5Ghz Powerbook just died. Applecare expired 2 weeks ago (Grrrr) I've seen the instructions for pulling it apart and I'm really not sure that I can do that (not very handy with my hands) so I'm thinking of having it sent out for repairs. There are no Apple Stores or Authorized Repair places around, so I'm probably going to have to mail it. Anyone know of a good place to get them repaired? I have a MacBook that I'm using as my main computer anyway, so speed is a lesser consideration than price (and of course reliability).

Can't speak to price, but TechRestore, http://www.techrestore.com/, has a good reputation. You might also check the ads in the back of a Mac magazine.
