[Rhodes22-list] Another Computer Question

[Herb Parsons]

WiFi basically takes the signal you send across the wire, and converts it to a radio signal.

Air Port is basically like an old fashioned dial up modem, but using a cellular phone system instead of an old-fashioned phone line.

I have a question too.  (Slim raising his hand.)

I expect to be traveling more in the near future and I figger I oughtta get
me one of them there whachacall laptops.  First of all, I'm strictly a Mac
guy.  But I don't know anything about Wi Fi or whatever it's called.  Or Air
Port.  Or is it easier to just plug in somewhere.

Can somebody explain this to me using small words?  What are my
options/limitations, costs, etc.?

Slim
