I have a PowerBook G3 Series, codenamed "Wallstreet", which doesn't have the
socket for the internal Apple AirPort card, so I got the ORiNOCO, since it
is basically the same card than the Apple's ones. Under OS 9.1, the card is
fully recognize as an AirPort card (different story under OS X, though...).

So, that's how I ended up. I felt it was pretty useless to have a laptop I
could take anywhere in the house without network access. So, I can really
enjoy now what it means to have a laptop...

Blue Screen of Death n. [common]: This term is closely related to the older
Black Screen of Death but much more common (many non-hackers have picked it
up). Due to the extreme fragility and bugginess of Microsoft Windows,
misbehaving applications can readily crash the OS (and the OS sometimes
crashes itself spontaneously). The Blue Screen of Death, sometimes decorated
with hex error codes, is what you get when this happens. (Commonly
abbreviated BSOD.)
