Am I right in thinking there's no way to have a laptop connected to the internet without a phone line? I was thinking about buying my brother one for crimbo but he doesn't have a phone line. I'm guessing there's no way around it...

...Please help...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As I guessed, I was being incredibly fucking stupid. Of course laptops can connect wirelessly; thats why people buy laptops, not normal desktop PC's!

Never used one in my life. Why did you assume I had?

Anyway, to clarify, my bro lives in his own house but doesn't have an active phone line (it would be an added waste of money seeing as he doesn't earn much). So I wondered whether a laptop would solve that problem. And it does. Yip yip yippee

Now the problem is getting one before christmas...

PS. Cheers for the answers.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So I had two options; wireless or nothing.

And I've chosen nothing. Why, you ask? Because I've bought him an Xbox 360 instead. Sorted.

Cheers again peeps. Strangely enough you did help me make a decision
