Ok don't laugh.....but I am not very savvy when it comes to understanding computers. I DO have a desktop PC at home with dial up internet service, but the thing is........... I want to buy a new laptop and get wireless internet service. I have read a few articles online about WiFi etc but it's all technical mumbo jumbo that seems confusing. I want the kind of wireless internet that allows me to connnect from just about anywhere. Even the beach. I need to know how to chose a laptop that is comaptible with wireless service. Also, where do I go in order to GET the wireless service? Do I ask for WiFi or are there other alternatives? What are "hotspots" all about? Would I even need a "hotspot"? Do I need some sort of a "card"? or "box"? I'm just clueless when it comes to this sort of thing. Can someone please explain in simple terms? I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

Sorry to answer my own question but I found this on the patent database.

"A laptop computer and mating docking station where the docking station provides power to the laptop computer over power rails of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. The laptop computer has laptop docking logic that both provides power in accordance with standard USB protocol, and also receiving power across the power rails of the USB interface. Likewise, the docking station has a docking station dock logic that establishes communication with the laptop docking logic across the USB power rails. Once positive communication is established, the dock station provides voltages on the USB power rails sufficient to power the laptop computer as well as charge the laptop's battery."

HP patented this idea but is it actually being used. This Dude at Dell says I can use a port replicator to charge my battery but even the people who make the port replicator disagree. And I've found no evidence to the contrary.

Is it bad to scan and delete the files everyday when I use the computer or no? Would it hurt my computer?

I'm looking at buying an LCD monitor with the regular screen, Not wide screen. I see that there is the response rate, am I correct in assuming that the lower the number the faster the response?
Also there is the contrast ratio that goes from 450:1 to 1000:1. What does that mean and which is better?
Then there is the Resolution, the Viewing Angle, the Pixel Pitch, and the Brightness that is mentioned. What type of number should I look for there and which is better, higher or lower numbers.
Thanks for your help.

I have Office 2007. It happens to be that Microsoft thought that by increasing the space between paragraphs their stuff would look better. Well, it does a little, but not for my 'serious docs'.

I have a job to deliver and I still can't find how to decrease the space between lines and paragraphs. I want it to be like it was on Word 97, with almost no space between lines. Do you know the way to do it?

Thank you very much.

What I meant is at what resolution (pixel x pixel) is it projected on the big screen? Give the source of you answer if you can.

We have installed security cameras at one location in our business, and have decided it is best to monitor the feeds from a different location. Both sites have high speed internet via cable bodem, and the camera uses a standard RCA video jack. Is there a simple hardware and software solution to transmit the feed to be viewed on a PC screen at our other location? I have looked at Slingbox, but think that may be overkill for our situation. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to put a song I bought on iTunes, "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White Tees, on a powerpoint presentation for school. I would like to e-mail the song to myself so I can access it at school. When I go into iTunes, I can select the song, but I'm not sure what to do next. When I go to the main toolbar at the top, I can't convert it to an AAC or anything like that. I don't know if I'm supposed to export it in some way or something like that. Please help me out! It would be greatly appreciated.
