Okay, this is probably a longshot, considering the death cries of usenet, but here goes - how do I get wifi on my desktop computer? Is there some sort of card or device I need? Thanks.

Okay, smarty, instead of expecting a coherent answer here, I decided to use Google like most other (non hacker) folks. The type of card I have in mind can be had for $15 to $30 on Amazon. Time to save up my pennies. :-/

You asked if you would need a card, I answered. What's the problem?

Well, if you had been a little more kind, you would have told me where to find one.

I'm not your personal shopping assistant. You're asking in a group called
"hackers", not "I can't think for myself". Learn to use the tools already at
your disposal. (Yes, that includes Google.)
