a few quick questions if you will!!^_^
i just bought a referb powerbook g4 1.5 running osx 10.4
now im new to mac and this will be my first apple product ever (other than my like 5 ipods^_^!) but anyways i have a few compatability questions
First is for the wireless base, which version of the airport thingy should i use? i know my computer has an airport extreme card in it but there are like 4 bases and i dont know which one to use!
second i am going to be running this computer through an external monitor frequently and am looking at getting a wireless keyboard/mouse. Will any bluetooth keyboard work on a mac or do you have to buy mac products. I had my heart set on a logitech dinovo but i need to know if it will work?
third can you hook a powerbook up to a lcd tv?
that is all for now. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am making a full switch to mac and this is my Guinea pig test run.^_^

Hope you didn't pay a lot for the g4 Powerbook. Apple have moved to Intel processors which are quite a bit faster than the older PPC processors.
As far as a wireless base station goes either the express or extreme base stations will work just fine. But your PB has a wireless 802.11g card so I would look for a cheap linksis or netgear 802.11g wireless base station. The Apple base stations are wireless N and are more expensive than wireless G stations you can get.
I'm pretty sure any bluetooth mouse and keyboard will work fine. Don't know about hooking up your PB to an LCD tv, but think that you probably can.
