[88GIANTS888]

Hi, I am a new user of an old laptop, Dell Latitude D610, want to use wifi at coffee shops, library etc.  What do I have to do when I enter lets say a Starbucks?  Since computer is old do I need any hardware?  I'm really new at this so don't know exactly what to do.  Thanks for you're help

You need a wireless network PC Card that fits the PC Card slot.
