I am reading about this AIRCARD on ebay. Says it works with PDA (like
my Palm Pilot VIIX maybe?) and (not sure that is why I am asking) with
a wireless laptop, if and when I get one.

In so many words I know so little I don't even know how to make the question. 

Do I want to get one, this one, for about $12???

I'm afraid the AirCard is designed to work with PCMCIA systems, such
as regular desktop PCs, laptops and some Pocket PC based PDAs. 
Specifically, it will not work on your Palm Pilot.

Also, the eBay page says the Operating Systems supported are :-
- Windows 95/98/ME//NT 4/2000/XP
- Windows CE 2.11
- Pocket PC
- Handheld PC 2000 (CE 3.0)
- Pocket PC 2002

Which does not include Palm OS.

Excellent. I am easy to please (we all like to think that, right?)
Please post your comment and from me you will get 5-stars!!!

I needed an answer and even though it was not as favorable as I
wanted, it is the answer, the right and correct answer, and it won't
(aircard) work on my Palm Pilot.

If there is a website where I can learn a bit more, I would appreciate
it. If not, my 5-star offer stands!!

God bless you to know and do His will!
