I just got given a older iBook G3, OSX 10.2.0.8, also a D-Link DWL-122 USB wireless adapter.
I've already got legit and registered PC copies of Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 7. Has anyone here had *experience* with trying to buy cross-platform upgrade copies? I don't mind the upgrade purchase, but have been stuck in Adobe phone help for several half hours and have never reached a human being. Any ideas how this might work, if possible. I know when I upgrade these on PC, I have had to already have copies of the software on the machine--but obviously, this is not possible with the copies I have.
2--I have never been able to to get the iBook to connect to my PC centric wireless DSL. It shows connected, but 'incorrect WEP key'... Key is correct. I read somewhere that since Apple has 40 bit hex and PC has 64 bit hex for a 10 digit password to type a $ before the password (presumably in the wireless adaptor setup on the Mac). Doesn't work. Yes, I've got one of those silly Linksys routers, but I'm at firmware 1.000.4, not the 1.01 which has been causing all the problem. Is connection even possible, or should I just consider the wireless adaptor something for going to the coffeehouse?
Finally, is there a link somewhere to help me learn to create dual compatibility CDs?
Thanks...(Just to show you how old I am, my first computer experience was with an Apple II+...since, I've done a fair amount of work with other people's Macs, but never had to configure one for the Net.)
