How do i connect my computer to or wireless internet if it doesn't have wireless ability?

You'll need to purchase and install a "wireless adapter" for your computer -- and today the most popular ones are little "dongles" that plug into your USB port. You'd spend anywhere from about $30 to $80 for an adapter. One that is installed, you will need to connect to a wireless network -- which is either going to be in a Hotel, coffee shop, or at your home if you've installed a Wireless Router or an Access Point. The adapter in your PC will "associate" to an "Access Point" -- and the Access Point will put your signal onto the network so you can access resources and/or the Internet.
