New Laptop questions

[airhead]

I love my new laptop computer! With the help of people on this board,I bought a Dell Inspiron 15R and learned how to be "wireless" in my house. LOVE it! I have a few questions. First,I know how to be "wireless" in my house,but what about when i'm not home? how do I get access to the internet if I'm somewhere else? Also,i have 2 adaptors;one is 65 watts and one is 90 watts. Which do I use??? Thanks all!

Being wireless elsewhere depends-usually the first time you sign into a wireless place, say Starbucks, you will have to agree to their terms of service then it registers on your laptop and the next time you go there you just open up the internet like you do at home.

I can't help you with the adapters.

You should really call Dell customer support about the adapter question.

Also keep in mind, CJ, that if you are wireless in public...hotels, coffee shops, Mickey D's, etc, you will not be on a secure connection. Refrain from anything financial if possible.
