It's a 1GHz G4.
It's been doing weird annoying stuff where it needs me to restart it--either the "YOU MUST RESTART YOUR COMPUTER NOW" stuff, or just refusing to wake up from sleep and requiring a restart (and occasionally thinking it's 1969 after that). This spring I had to reformat the hard drive three times in about a month. This weekend, it was doing that again (requiring restart after about 5 minutes of using it) and I was sore afraid....but then it's working fine today, other than that whole lack of acknowledging the airport card.

Here's Apple's page on installing the card: [link]
Some other site suggests removing the AirPortSW.pkg file from /Library/Receipts/ and reinstalling the airport software.

Whoot! I *finally* have the internets at home again. Since I'm reinstalling Firefox, anyone have some must-have extensions that I should be seeking out?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tab Mix Plus - Essential, the extension I'd pick if there can. be. only one.
All in one Gestures - Mouse gestures, very useful.
Extended Status Bar - It's just a display of stats not functional.
RiteOfTongue - Can spellcheck a selected word.
PDF Download - Get a choice of what to do with PDF files. I find it useful.

There are several versions of DTA. I don't remember what the difference is between the versions. Anyway, you might want to poke around and try another version or maybe some other similar extension.

I'm pretty sure it's the website, but I'll try out the other versions and see if that helps.
