I have a question about the wifi cards. When it says 5mb max usage or whatever, does that mean I'll be charged if I go over that much? I'm a little
confused about that.
Who has one of those Net books and does it take a internet

That's what I thought. So how much is 5mb? And like what is the definition of data usage? Those things confuse me.

Yeah, I don't think any of them offer unlimited because then I think they would end up losing money. I'll have to look into it though. Thanks for
answering my questions everyone.

Yup, you are right. My netbook has a built in Wifi card, as well as most laptops today. Therefore, you will not need a wireless card, unless you just want a
second choice for when you travel to places with minimal wifi connection.
All you have to do is get a wireless router Rosie. Hook that joint up to your Comcast modem, and call it a day. I have Comcast as well, so this is what I do. |

Ok I don't have a wireless router so what you guys are telling me is I can stick my card in the computer and it will work AND the computer comes with wifi
as well? Wifi is free?

If you're talking about those USB things then yes you can use them in the netbooks. That's what I'm using for my internet right now and it works on
my netbook. I just plug it in a USB port and load the software for it and it connects to the internet.
If that is not what you are talking about then I don't know. And if you go to a place that has wifi you won't need the USB stick your computer should automatically connect to the internet. |

I just looked at my Acer netbook and it has just 2 slots that says for SD cards so I don't know then if that'll work.

Shoebaby, I'm not sure if that will work.
You may have to get the USB adapter.
