      Either a wireless card or a wireless ready laptop. If you wanna hook up at starbucks you also need a t-mobile subscription.


      What are you asking specifically?

              Specifically I want to connect to the internet with my laptop from my car. I dont go to starbucks Im a dunkin donuts boston guy. So I'll chill with my friends in the parking lots. Its like a big hangout. I bet there are some open networks around there. My laptop is an HP from 2003 its not wireless ready So I will need a wireless card? What else do I need?

                    do your homework to make sure whatever wifi card you get supports your netstumbler app of choice.

                    AaronM - care to give the newbie primer on slurping down free starbucks access?

                      I haven't wondered how does your internet connection might be. Do you have aspirins? I really have a bad headache!
