Hi Natalie. I would probably go with the wireless router myself, it's a bit
more standard, and you pretty much know for sure it will work. If you get
the USB data card through Verizon, you will need to make sure it works with
the Mac. Also, many times, cell providers charge for data plans, and
especially to use data over a computer. Also, if you want to learn a bit
more about voice over, I have recorded 3 pod casts on using the mac and
voice over, and you can find these at blindcooltech.com. I'm sure you will
enjoy the mac, and there is lots of help available.

Subject: New to the Mac and a question
Hi everyone. My name is Natalie, and I just got a Mac book last weekend for
a birthday present. i know nothing about Macs so learning the key commands
for voiceover has taken me longer than it should, but I haven't had a whole
lot of time to play with the Mac much either. That brings me to my
question. I still don't have it hooked up to the net yet, and am still
using a Windows desktop for email and stuff which I do plan to keep. Are
wireless routers really difficult to set up and install and stuff? I can't
decide if I want to buy a wireless router and keep my current Internet
provider or if I want to switch to the wireless USB card things that Verizon
has which I do have my cell phone through. Any thoughts would be great, I
would just like to get the Mac on the net soon so I can learn and do more
with it.
Natalie
