Yes I'm sure!;) All those "Yes's" in that screen shot mean that the particular computer model "supports" Airport. The 400mhz "PCI" Powermac G4 did not support Airport...that's why it says no.

The "Yes's" means that that those models support Airport...but the Airport card itself was optional (not installed automatically with each computer sold). Originally when Airport first came out...the Airport upgrade was VERY expensive...and thus folks didn't get it. Sort of like getting an SSD drive in a new computer today.

This Airport card is easily removable & useable in many other Macintosh models of that period...including laptops. So many "professional" e-Bay sellers (like the one you bought from) remove the Airport card. Why?...your computer cost $14.99...the Airport card itself sells for $25-$30 dollars...DOUBLE the value of the whole computer!!!

HTH,

I get ya. Figured that's what it meant but I was not positive. Well, darn, I'll be using ethernet until then I guess. :/

Nick is correct. From the Sawtooth up all the power macs have a slot for the Airport card shown in the pic Nick provided.
