[DM-MUG] Need Sioux City based answer if possible

[CW Smith]

I'd be happy to help -- not exactly Sioux City centered, but my  
sister in law is about to move to Brookings, SD -- I'll be going  
through/past Sioux City probably once a month or so.

Which Strawberry iMac does he have -- tray-loading or slot-loading?  
If it's tray-loading, it won't take an AirPort card. What operating  
system is he running on this machine? How much RAM does he have? Whom  
is he considering for high-speed internet -- Qwest, MediaCom, Cox, or  
some other (possibly locally based) cable or DSL company?

Whichever model iMac he has, it's got an Ethernet port, so an AirPort  
base station is probably not necessary unless he's got two or more  
computers to connect to the ISP. If he's using Qwest, their DSL  
modems double as routers, so again the base station would not be  
necessary.

Either Jean or her grandson can call me at the store during business  
hours (515-225-9040) or on my mobile phone any time (515-577-1716).  
Anything I can do, I'll be happy to help.

Peace,
CW
