OK, a friend just got back from the Bahamas, says all the marinas there and on the E Coast are going wifi, mostly for free (no password, or easy to find out password). However, he says all the sailors are putting antennas on their boats, as they receive a wifi signal that is too weak to work with while at anchor. So I tried to find an antenna that will work with my iMac G5 or my iBook G4 but the good antennas connect to cards, and I don't think either mac has the proper slot. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good exterior wifi antenna for a mac?

Also, I have installed an SSB for SailMail, known as snailmail because it is so slow, have been advised to get a PC-simulator program to run the sailmail software. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks. Kathy :?:
