To use a laptop in a car, no additional service is needed. Just turn it on. To keep the battery charged, you can use an inverter connected to lighter outlet. In order to access the internet from a car you will need a wireless service provider. Verizon offers a service that will work (somewhat) while you are moving, but it is costly and pretty slow outside major metro area. If you are willing to just use hotspots, many of the chain truck stops offer wifi for a fee. Of course, you could just park in front of a coffee shop offering free wireles access.

Just get a usb hub, preferably a powered usb hub. This will use one usb port but give you a minimum 4 extra ports for a net gain of 3 usb ports. By using a powered hub you reduce the power load on the laptop keeping it cooler than a non powered or pcmcia card.

Contact your local Computer Guy, there are ways to get the disk and the data out of your laptop without powering it up.

Put the notebook to in a dry place for 1 week..then\nTry to see if it starts up if not....then\nYou can buy external 2.5" HD caddy cases, so that you can take the Laptop harddrive out and put it in the caddy and connect to any computer with a USB port to transfer your data.\n\nCould be a costly repair job, if you've not got accident cover

You can get an Inverter - a device that plugs into the cigarette lighter of the car and has a standard plug socket outlet for powering ordinary electrical items.\n\nThere's different types - some are just a converter so you need to be plugged in to your cigarette lighter with your laptop.\n\nOthers are a large battery enclosed in a carrying case, they're designed with car and caravan users in mind and most come with booster cables, work lamp, flashing warning lights etc.  There's different sizes but typically they'll power up to 200 or 300 Watts of appliances (a standard lightbuld is 40 or 60 Watts), a laptop is much less.\n\nWhen charged they'll run a small TV for many hours and a laptop for the best part of a day.\n\nYou should be able to pick a new one up for around $100 to $150.

You could run it inside VMWare Player or M$ Virtual PC. You possibly could talk to it via the virtual LAN card.

Nothing. Nowaday, new laptops all have wireless built-in. So you need not do anything to your laptop. \n\nYou will need to get a wireless router to be setup after your modem. Get the more popular brand like D0Link or Linksys as they follows the industrial standard.

u'll need to get a cable which connects both devices. however consult your manual first to see whether this is possible. If it was possible in the first place your thinkpad would have come with a cable. Also check it could be an accessory that you can obtain separately.\n\nall the best

A USB ported GPS receiver\n\nSuch as the one in the linky below:\n\nhttps://shop.delorme.com/OA_HTML/DELibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=10043&minisite=10020\n\nEDIT: Well, I said "similar". I am sure you can find something similar locally. Maybe print out this and take it to local computer shop and maybe they can order for you or know of local equivalent?

Sorry to tell you this, bub, but if you can't figure out how to hook it to your computer, you also arent going to be able to figure out how to use it, so you should just take it back to wherever you got it.

Look on the back of the computer, it should just plug in

I don't think you can do that. There might be a few small apps that would run that way but anything substantial would require being installed in the host.\nMy guess is the best you could do would be copy the program to a portable drive and then run the install when you hook to a PC.
