Okay, I'm hoping that I am over-analyzing all of this and it is just as simple as I would assume it to be. I have a Palm Treo 700w on the way that I ordered. My service is with Verizon and I know I can pay extra per month to get internet access, but I'm pretty sure that I won't use it enough to justify the $20/$30/$40 per month, or whatever it costs, initially to decide if I use it enough or not.

So, my question is, with one of these wireless SD cards to pick up on a wireless signal, would I be able to use it to access the internet instead of paying for Verizon's service? Or would I still have to pay Verizon to actually have "internet capability" on the phone?

Example of said SD Card....

I read this at the site: Adds 802.11b wireless network connectivity to the Tungsten™ T3, Tungsten T5, and Zire™ 72 handhelds

If you don't have a wifi connection, you're out of luck right from the start. My hunch is that your car or wherever doesn't have wifi, so...

Haha, touche'. But, I will be finishing my Internship and returning to school in January for this coming semester. While my car does not have wifi, the campus has wireless hotspots nearly everywhere. All buildings that I have classes, the University Center, the South Patio (basically a common area that people hang out between classes), my fraternity house, and numerous other locations have wireless access. The way to connect to it is to open IE and enter my username/password and I am connected as long as I don't leave its range.

My question is that if I don't have Verizon's specific "internet package," will I be able to access internet with one of these wireless cards?

I'm not sure if the phone's software will be built to use alternate data services for web browsing. You might want to call Palm.

Well, luckily I my co-op is almost over and I have ample time to surf the internet here at work. While browsing, I found this thread over on Brighthand which seems to have solved my problem......

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
