| Macbook Pro slot I have a macbook pro and there is a slot on the left side, I think it's for cards? But no regular cards would fit, what does fit? What kind of things do you plug in there? I have no idea.  |

| Not many cards available. They're called "ExpressCard/34", that's the type. There are some UMTS cards, AFAIK, some card adaptors and stuff like that.

| I bought a card reader for my "slot". Mine's a Sonnet Multimedia reader, but several others make the same thing. Very handy if you have a digital camera.

| So what am I going to have to get if I want to get a wireless card from a phone carrier? So I can have internet access wherever I'm at? Are there carriers that have a card for the macbook pro? or am I going to have to lug around an adaptor? If thats the case, what do you recommend? |

| Verizon offers one: http://www.barefeats.com/mbcd5.html You'll have to check with your phone carrier and ask specifically if they carry mobile internet cards in the ExpressCard/34 format.
