<VV> Need high speed access advice--NO CORVAIR

[Jeff Clark]

I'm no expert on this, but I just bought a laptop for
myself, and switched over from regular DSL to DSL
wireless in my home at the same time (the laptop came
all set up for wireless).  First, you'll need to
switch from dial-up to DSL (which can be telephone,
cable or satellite), and I would add wireless at the
same time.  It's all relatively easy and inexpensive
(except for the monthly bill...), but if you're MAJOR
technologically challenged, I would highly recommend
getting the Geek Squad to do the installation.  It was
included with my purchase of the laptop, and I could
have done it myself, but the guy that did the
installation was great, he saved me HOURS of
frustration, and he fixed a number of problems with my
desktop.  If time (and maintaining your sanity) is
important to you, Geek Squad is money well spent. 

There are many public areas where you'll be able to
access the Internet via wireless, and those areas are
increasing in number daily.  It does seem to be the
way of the future, so you may as well jump on the
bandwagon now.  One word of caution: DO NOT work on
I.D.-sensitive items while in a public area, as others
may be able to access what you're doing.  Your home
wireless will have a built-in firewall, so that's
where you want to do bill-paying, or anything that
involves personal info.
