We checked on eBay and the going rate for an AirPort card was well over $130.  Online stores weren&#8217;t any better with one place listing a card at $180!  Great Zeus!  This made me pretty mad knowing that an elderly lady couldn&#8217;t get wifi on her Mac for less than a hundred dollars.  So, when I got home, I vented my anger by tearing apart a Lucent Wavelan Silver PC Card.  After the guts of it were exposed, I tossed it into my iMac G4, rebooted, and BAM!  The iMac acknowledged it as a native Apple AirPort Card.  I haven&#8217;t installed it in her iMac G3 yet, but I&#8217;m very confident it will work.  The great thing about this is, these cards can be had for less than $25 with shipping via eBay, so this solution even trumps the silly Sony Vaio PCWA-150S as the cheapest AirPort alternative I can find.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend of mine wanted to install an AirPort Card in his mother&#8217;s old iMac G3 so she could get wireless internet access.
