3|2|To start you need a modem|fbutte|fyb33@yahoo.com|16:30:51|03/03/2013|
Most laptops today runs on Wi Fi, not dialup. Free wifi's are available in and around all Starbucks, most coffee shops, most MacDonald, and libraries. To use in you own home, you need a modem to connect you to the telephone line. If you already have cable service, they can connect you on wifi for a small monthly fee. Most cable companies offer a bundled package of TV, telephone, and internet. 4|3|IF SHE IS ALREADY ONLINE, SHE ALREADY HAS A MODEM.........SO SHE DOESN'T NEED A NEW ONE UNLESS SHE PLANS ON DOING DSL OR SOMETHING ELSE|JOYHAPPYONE|DAIDOLA5@AOL.COM|16:33:21|03/03/2013|

7|3|I agree about the mouse! (m)|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|21:47:25|03/03/2013|
My sister has a laptop & just the touchpad so no mouse. She's always asking me for help w/this or that on it & it drives me nuts w/no mouse. LOL It just seems to go much faster/easier for me to use a mouse, but I suppose if someone starts out on a computer using the touchpad, it goes ok for them.

8|1|I'm glad you posted this question. (m)|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|21:52:16|03/03/2013| I've been thinking about getting a laptop or netbook. I have high speed internet w/my desktop so have been wondering if I'd need wireless internet to use a laptop/netbook? I'm happy w/my wired high speed so really don't want to get wireless if I don't have to..... Smile... it makes people wonder what you're up to! Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username.

I have a wired router if needed, but am wondering if I'd still need to go w/wireless in order to be able to use a laptop/netbook in another room, etc.?
