Wireless broadband card? How does it work? Does it lag?

Without wires. :p
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Hmm... I had the idea to use the already existing network of cellphone towers for internet a while back. They just took my idea. :p
