First off would like to thank you for any help you can provide. Really helps.

My question is: I will be getting a new Macbook in about a week. I am currently using an old Pc laptop. When going to work I have a wireless Mobile Broadband Card from sprint to get internet on my laptop. However the new Macbook I am getting doesn't have this slot for the Broadband Card. Can I put the broadband card at work into a pc computer at and connect it to my macbook with an Ethernet cable and get internet on my macbook?

Also I have seen adapters that you plug the broadband card into and it transfers it to usb. Will this work on my macbook? Any good ones you would recommend?

Thanks Again

You can find an adapter here. I don't know if it will work OK with your new Mac. So if you buy that one or another model, make sure you can return it in case it doesn't work.

Regards.
