I would need a MacBook Pro, Apple has not incorporated a provision for PC cards in laptops with 12" and 13.5" screens, presumably because of space limitations. All the laptops (iBooks, Powerbooks, MascBook Pro) with 14" and bigger screens have PC card slots. Some even have two slots. For the 12" and 13.5" laptops there are several wireless adapters on the market which will plug in to the USB 2.0 port. You will have to check with your cellphone wireless provider to see what will fit. Larry Z
