Ok I'm a little behind the times so give me a break. How can I get internet access on my laptop anywhere around town?

Wireless broadband cards from a cell phone company, as long as you're within the network you can get internet, but it's not cheap. Maybe $70 per month.

yep, it's internet carried in a signal just like your cell phone. Like Lithus said, it's quite expensive but at the same time convenient. Also, you have to buy a card from whichever provider you choose and those are not cheap either. Although, sometimes you can get a good deal on them with an agreement from the provider.

Verizon is 59/month.

Is there a card to fit my laptop? HP DV6000 series.

If your laptop has a pc card slot or an express card slot you should be good to go. Most providers offer one or both options. You just have to ask them which. Don't know if there is another kind....maybe USB or not.

I don't think I have one of those.

I wonder if I posted this same thing a few days ago? I'm on so many meds I forget what I'm doing at times? Hard to remember stuff.

Even if the antenna device is free or "just" $50, the monthly bills will bring the cost of one year of service to around $1000.

Your laptop does have an Express Card slot.. totally different from a PCMCIA slot. Makes I know Verizon has a express card wireless for their system. I don't know about Sprint. It's better to get a card than a USB adapter... less to lose when traveling and the hassle.
Internet access anywhere?
