LADY DI

I am trying to wrap my brain around it all. I have no idea about her modem and she would not even know what I was talking about. Her son got it for her probably because something said it was able to connect to internet w/o anything. Maybe, but not sure if that was why. But another question, wise one, IF she does get an ISP of her own, how will it help her?? I ask this because, we live in one state, so okay it works at the house, but she often travels to another part of the state in the summer and also travels to Florida a few weeks a year. So if she has a provider here, how will that help her in other places?? Won't she still be "stealing" someone else's service?? Or is there some provider she can get that would be able to "travel" with her?? when I try to tell her she needs something, else, she always says "no" she wanted , and this has it, something, so she does not have to do anything more than just turn on the machine and "go to town" on it. I really want to help her, but not being very techo minded, I am not a lot of help when I do not understand it either. So any help you can give me to help her would be helpful!!! thanks i

My friend got this computer for christmas. she is very un computer saavy, I mean, she did not know how to turn off the computer properly. I was able to help her set the time and date, but the one thing she wanted to do was connect to the internet and that we could not do. MY big question, is does she need to get an ISP before she can use the wireless feature installed on the netbook?? She says she does not, but I am at a loss on how one can do one thing without having the other. If she can please explaian how that works to my stupid brain. I was able to download the manual as someone mentioned, and we could do a little, but it is not the best to understand. thanks
