Actually, if you're in a wifi city (like Canandaigua or Geneva) you CAN tap into it while in the car. In fact, if you're willing to spend a bit more, you don't even need to worry about being in a wifi zone. Some cell companies have broadband access cards, that work kinda like a cell phone- but for internet. With these, as long as you're somewhere it can get a signal (basically, if your cell can get a good signal, your comp is probably happy too!)
Here are the links to the Verizon ones we've been debating getting for our laptop.

There are places that have what they call WiFi, unfortunately I don't know much about them. I am retired and don't go places where I would need a laptop/notebook. In fact I don't like them because none that I have seen has an ergonomic kbd. The kind that have a sort of curved set of keys. I have big and somewhat clumsy hands and I have enough trouble typing accurately on the ergonomic, let alone a normal keyboard.
