Laurel,
I use my lap top with a 'Centrino' Chip which allows me to connect to
various wireless servers in the area. One big draw back i sthe fact that
you might be logging onto a server that is a problem and giving you all
kinds of trouble so one has
to be careful.
There are many 'Hot Spots' in most areas that have these access points
available and when I am away on vacation this allows me to work into a local
server and get my email
Geoff
