Thanks for the info. I think I am also going to try the USB thumb drive
from Verizon so that way I can have the Internet anywhere so that when I
travel and stuff I won't have to worry about trying to find an Internet
connection or what ever. Thanks again for the info, I will save this so
that once I try my parents' USB thumb drive thing from Verizon and it
doesn't work, then hopefully, a router will.

Hi!
Yes, you can still connect your desktop to the router either either by
connecting the machine directly to the router using an ether net cable or
by using the desktop with a wireless connection.
No question is stupid; I was wondering the same thing when I went mac,
but as time goes on you will probably use the windows desktop less and
less.
Good luck with the learning curve! If there is anything I can do to help,
let me know!

Hi Natalie!
Welcome to the world of macs! :) I got my macbook in December and love
it!
I have the airport wireless router manufactured by apple, and verizon
as my ISP. It was very easy to set up, and I find the connection to
be extremely fast and reliable.
If you end up with the airport router and need help setting it up drop
me an email and I'll see if I can talk you through it.
Enjoy your macbook!

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.
