as printers, scanners, joysticks, keyboards, digital cameras, and floppy disk drives.

m FireWire for connecting high-speed equipment, such as digital video cameras and external

hard drives.

m The latest in communications technologies, such as a 56K modem, 10/100/1000Base-T

Ethernet, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and AirPort wireless Internet and networking.

PowerBook with an external monitor, video projector, or many digital flat panel displays,
including support for video mirroring and extended desktop (dual display) modes. Use
