After the Dust Settles - The PB G4's Shortcomings



PCMCIA comment - The one is NOT used by Airport                   11:25 PM EDT Mon Apr 16, 2001

Granted the PB G4 is far from perfect, but god man, get your facts straight.

(Quote from article)
"and only a singe pcmcia card slot (to hold the airport card that a price like it carries demands should be built in) "

The one PCMCIA slot is NOT used by the Airport card. The Airport card slot is inside the case. you remove the bottom cover to install it (as shown in the manual, the apple CIP pages, etc.)

And personally, with builtin firewire, ethernet, modem, etc. - the main reason I use a PCMCIA slot is for a compactflash reader (which are also availble in USB and Firewire).

And btw - the PB G3 firewire also had only one PCMCIA slot also.

To compare the TiPB (selling well) to the Cube is baffling. The TiPB has mass appeal, even for PC users - the cube didn't.
