Need WiFi Board?
So I was given a big honking Apple computer (6 years old ??) and it was fed net stuff by a cable. Do I just take it to a shop and ask them to install a WiFi board?

- Depends on which model it is. Most of them that age already have a wifi board in 'em. Try turning on wifi from the system preferences app. Or go to the apple menu (upper left corner of the menubar) and check "about this mac." In the dialog box that opens, depending on which version of the OS you have, there's a link to open the system profiler or to get more info, either of which will tell you about all the hardware available as the machine is currently configured.
- I assume it has USB ports and there are small wifi adapters that should just plug in.
- IIRC, Apple will call it the AirPort- and it probably already has it.
- what is the make and model of the equipment... I used to be an apple tech
