I have four PB1400s that can be 802.11b connected. For daily use I have a PB1400c (MacOS 9.1) that has the Sonnet G3-333 upgrade, 64MB main memory, using a dedicated Proxim Skyline wireless card, that I am using now to post this. When not in use I just sleep the machine, so getting on the Internet is just a matter of unsleeping. I turn on my G4-400 Sawtooth (and wait some for 10.3.9 to load into 384 MB) only when I need a page that will not display right on my 1400, or when I want two really big CRT screens. The other PowerBooks (all MacOS 8.6, 48 MB or less memory) are generally used offline, but when I want to download something into them I stick in either a Farallon Skyline or an Orinoco Silver wireless card to get them briefly onto the Internet. Sometimes I use the other PowerBooks in peer to peer mode for experiments. Data movement between the PowerBooks (and my digital camera) is mainly done via PCMCIA flash memory adapter, although sometimes ZIP-100 media is used too. Being able to move my net access around the house and sometimes into the backyard is nice!
