Hi Kony

I am not a mac expert so I asked about networking in alt.comp.sys.mac and I
was advised to use a wireless bridge for the following reasons:

1) the only wireless card that can be used internally fits into a
specialized slot and costs a fortue - certainly more than a wireless bridge
2) It may be that most USB devices would work on the iMac but almost none of
them state that they will work. It's for an old machine; 1999 model and I'm
using one of the latest operating systems on it which may mean that drivers
are even harder to find.

That's about it.
