i have the same computer as you ibook g4.
Q: "if i have a live wireless connection can i plug ethernet from the g4 to g3 can i get internet on both?"
A: i think you might be able to, im not sure. but another way is if you have the wireless internet, plug in the computer without the airport with the ethernet wire plugged into the wireless device and you should connect automaticly to that same wireless address. under network, you should be able to get onto the other computer. im not sure about that part since this is my only computer.
Q: "or if i cant get internet can i run a network to share files between the two?"
A: if you want to transfer files from one computer to the other, take a 2 sided firewire cord and plug it into the fire wire ports on both computers. turn one of them off and hold down the keypad button "t" when you start it. this will bring it into target mode. you should see the firewire logo o n the screen. from there on your other computer, you will see a Hard drive with that computer on it. so from there open that and just take out what files you want and copy them to where you want.

that's not so straight forward. first element: definite, you often pay extra for a variety product than a non-variety inspite of if the standard of the emblem would not tournament up. If we seem at cellphone and iPod revenues, that's specifically 2 issues a million. The product has a somewhat lengthy line of helpful products (if there turned right into a sony walkman like an iPod contact it may likely value about an same) 2. they are extra sturdy. quite in case you seem at smartphones. Android provides tremendous customization etc. yet you want to carry close what you're doing. you are able to crash your telephone extra regularly than not by technique of utilising 0.33 get collectively purposes and customization, while this received't ensue to an iPhone except you jailbreak and attempt to regulate it on objective. abode windows is generaly crap and this move mentally to telephone utilization Now shall we seem on the pc fringe of issues. There are diverse desires for persons. once you construct a private computer you'll seem at what you want it for. If that's pictures extreme then you genuinely are extra probably to flow with an Intel processor that does extra effective than AMD in that branch. If not, then that's AMD certainly that you may choose. A MAC is largely a standardized pc. it quite works extremely nicely even as coping with graphical layout. if you're a fashion designer or you're plenty into making video clips, then the MAC is extra effective because you'll spend even less than on a each and daily personal computer/pc that ought to do an same with an same potential. briefly apple products do have their makes use of. the actual shown actuality that it really is an evil business enterprise isn't all that suitable right here.

If you have wireless connectivity in the powerbook, its already online. Networking the two is as simple as clicking "connect to server" under the network menu
