[G4] WiFi for G4?

[Tim Collier]

I have an original Airport Card 802.11b.  I was using it in my dual 1  
gig G4.  I took it out and replaced it with the Sonnettech Aria  
card....it's 802.11b/g and the Mac works much better on the network  
now.....it used to take forever to copy a file over my home network  
as the card limited the speed.
Anyway, it's sitting in a box in my storage closet.  If anybody wants  
it, I'm willing to sell.....now mind you, I paid a LOT for it as we  
used to just have our network wired.  So, I'm not going to let it go  
for less than $90.
