My laptop was recently damaged beyond what I'm willing to pay for repair. It would be extremely unwise for me to spend *any* money on even a USED one right now.  So, I did the only thing I could.  I apologized to the nice people on freecycle and then begged them for an unwanted laptop.  This is a temporary solution, which I expect to last only a few months.  Hence, my extreme cheapness.  

I was given an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 435CDS running Windows 98.  I can deal with this.  However, I'm moving into a building with free wireless internet, and I'd love to take advantage of this, even on a dinosauric machine.  The guy who gave me this mentioned that wireless would not be an option.  Can anyone confirm this or explain why not?  I'll settle, but if I can buy a wireless PCMCIA, that would make my pathetic week.

THANKS in advance!
Do you have an available 32-bit PCMCIA slot?It's 16-bit, I believe.  Aren't there 16-bit wireless CARDS?Yes, there are 16-bit wireless cards.Hm.  Is there any reason I might not be able to use something like that?Nope, you can, look here, click accessories.http://cgi.ebay.com/Proxim-ORINOCO-Silver-16-bit-WiFi-Wi-Fi-Wireless-Card_W0QQitemZ120066889322QQihZ002QQcategoryZ45000QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Would that work?

P.S.  Again, many thanks!It should if it is a legit seller and you trust him.

[edit]And he is, atleast that is what I think from USER opinions.[/edit]How about USB?  Is that possible?A USB wireless adapter is possible, and easy to FIT, but a internal wireless card like the one suggested by fffreak would be neater and probably better.
I'd say go with the internal one unless you have a reason to go with USB instead.
