You could buy a USB wireless adapter, just plug. it in one of the ports on the back and go that way. Netgear, Belkin and several others make them. Just have to shop around at your favorite store, but most are in the $20-40 range............ do you already have a wireless access point (Router/modem/base station) ?
Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

One of these 802.11g PCI cards? External antenna should make for decent signal.
