Internet access while out and about...
anyone research what deals there are out there for an Internet card.
I will need to get a new laptop and get a card. Need it for work.
I am currently on Comcast.

I'm using Sprint's USB Sierra Wireless Compass 597, 50 bux a month, speeds of 300KB/s... the best out of everything I've tried.... So far worked for me perfectly from West Coast to East Coast traveling.
And Eddie, all laptops now have built-in wifi... I would just make sure that they are draft-N ready.

Wireless Network Cards - Sold at Verizon, ATT, Sprint, etc. Can use anywhere you can get a signal, but its like a cell phone contract. Costs about $50 a month.

No Sir, any computer (desktop/laptop) with a USB port will work...
You need wifi only if you want to catch free internet, if you have such a luxury in your area. I cannot depend on "luck internet" so I pay for it.

Wifi Card - Is in pretty much any new laptop. Will get you onto a wireless LAN such as the ones in Starbucks...or the one in your home. The ones out and about are generally not free (cost per use or maybe a voucher for a few hours, etc - there are some free places such as Pantera breads and some Dunkin Donuts). In your house its free if you have a wireless router.
