i recently acquired an imac g4 and i'm trying to put internet on it. right now i have internet on all the pc's in my house and a router already set up. the guys at bestbuy told me to buy a usb adapter and it'd work.. so i decided to give it a shot, but then the installation cd is for pc's only! does anybody know how i can get it to work? any feedback is greatly appreciated. muchas gracias.

No way of telling without knowing which USb adapter it is.. Generally Macs need an Airport card for wireless connectivity.
