Depends if the laptop is wireless enabled or not. If it is then Ethel's answer is correct.
If it's not a wireless laptop then I suggest buying a PCMCIA Wireless network card to solve future issues.
Cowboy - it was a joke! I remembered an anecdote about an American who 'phoned a Scottish hotel where they were intending to stay, to ask if they had television in Scotland.
But whether or not it was invented by Baird is somewhat arguable - his system of spinning wheels bore as much resemblance to what finally came to be called television as the original phonograph did to a CD, and I've never heard it claimed that Edison invented the CD player.
