[Ti] PC-card and Power Mate for new Ti

[Bill Reburn]

Joe, (thanks Lisbeth)

A PC Card in your Ti will not help you run windows. Several years back Apple
built machines with a different "PC Card" that fit into a PCI slot and
enabled access to a functioning 'mini' Intel based motherboard. This allowed
quick switching between the two environments. I used to have one, they were
"interesting".

The PC Card you use in you Ti is designed for additonal communication and
functionality to your Apple computer. I think ALL laptops made PC or Mac
have a PC card slot.

The PowerMate is a great addition to your Ti. All depends on what purpose
you have for it.. I use it for volume control of iTunes/System, scrolling
web pages (it is smoother and easier to control than a scroll wheel mouse),
checking mail and sorting through messages quickly.. Plus some other
shortcuts for programs I use.

Hope that helps.
