The old powerbook I have lying around was one of the last powerPC ones sold. Is there any easy way to tell what model it is?

Just no Wi-Fi.

??

that's sort of underwhelming.

Am I missing something? My A1200 has wireless internet.

Heh, I've seen a C64 with "wireless" (yep, there was/is a Ethernet card for the C64, in which someone had put one of these "ethernet to wifi" adapters), but that kind of gadgets (as the A1200 wireless) is not really what people mean when talking about WiFi stacks/support in an OS...

Maybe, but I am not really that keen on pulling a 20 foot ethernet cable from upstairs to the couch downstairs which is the laptop territory.

It's 2012 guys.

"feature X, that is taken for granted today, is not actually needed at all". Windows user in 1990, Amiga user in 1994, linux user in 96, or MOS user in 2012?
