John, usually a wireless card is a wifi card which connects your computer to an
80211b or 80211g wireless access point. This requires that you be in range and
have access to a wifi network. If you need connectivity while on the go and can
not be assured of having access to wireless networks then you will need a
laptop with a celluar modem card in it which connects your laptop to your
celluar providers data network. Which means you will have internet access
anywhere you have celluar service.

LOL, whenever I read one of these "is this a good computer" messages I
keep thinking about the Blues Brothers movie:
Its got cop engine, cop suspension, cop tires...
Does the cigarette lighter work?
Yes...
Then you got a good deal!
It is the same way with JFW. If the computer meets the hardware specs
for JFW you will get it to work. Now what programs you run on it is entirely
dependant on your needs. You didn't mention if you will only be using it mostly
in the office or will you be using it for research in the field. Blind persons
using screen readers have no need to see the screen so a larger display is
wasted. The weight of this model concerns me a little if it is to be used
extensively in the field. I would opt for a lighter model with a small display.
Also you mentioned research. This usually implies being connected to either the
internet or a VPN. How do you plan on being connected? There are laptop models
that have built in celluar modems and you may want to investigate this.
Frank

Laptop with vista Wonding if any of you vista experts can give me an
opinion on this laptop and whether you think it will do the job. Mostly I'm
using it for my law practice, drafting pleadings and for online legal research.
