Regarding Wireless... if you had cable or DSL, you could setup a wireless router on the cable modem or dsl modem to share your internet connection out. Then, a laptop with wireless access could use that connection. Also, many retailers have started offering wireless availability (including McDonald's). For your personal home use, you would still have to plug in the phone line to the laptop and dial up. B and G essentially refer to different speeds of data xfer. If you have a G router, and it is configured for B or G, then you could use either device in a PC or laptop to connect. If the G router is set for G only, B users are SOL.
