          yes, u can (maybe) make your apple2 go wifi:
          all you need is an ethernet card (uthernet is one of them)
and a bridge.
          the bridge (ethernet to wifi adapter) is sold in all the
stores like FRy's or computer depot.
          but you have to bandwidth limit bec 54 Mhz doesnt go into a 1
Mhz system.
