When you say the software is a bit of a pain David, how do you mean? I'm using
JAWS whatever the latest version is with Windows Vista Home Premium on the
laptop.
I thought I might get Ian to bring the laptop up to me when I want to use it,
assuming of course I'll be able to once I've got rid of all the drips and been
allowed to move. But not having a clue about these cards at all, figured
someone here might have tried one, or could suggest any tips.
If I go for Vodafone, for example, I presume I have to link it to my own mobile
number to pay for what I use? Is this something like how it works? Told you
guys I don't have a clue about it (smiles.)
Many thanks.
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
I have both used the Vodafone and a Tmobile pcmcia air card and Ifind the
use of one, invaluable when I am travelling around the country. As you might
well guess, the software that comes with them is not too great but once you
have got used to doing what you need to do to be able to get connected, they
are fine.
The reason why I swopped to Tmobile is price; I could get unlimited downloads
from Tmobile for £20 a month and Vodafone said that they could not give me the
same deal unless I was a new user. That's the reason why I swopped so see what
deal you can get out of them.

Hi Gang
Apologies if this is not the correct name for what I'm looking for in the
subject of this post, but here goes.
I want to get a card that plugs into my laptop so that I can send and
receive Emails or browse the Internet on the move. Actually, on the move is
just what I won't be (smile.) I'm hoping to be able to use my laptop at some
point when I go into hospital soon for more back surgery. I'm on the Vodafone
network, and I know there is such a card that plugs into a laptop. Has anyone
used one and, if so, how have you got on with it?
Thanks for any info anyone has about these and whether they are more
trouble than they are worth, or even worth buying. I do have my phone set up
to send and receive Email, but I don't know if I will be allowed to use it, and
wondered if a card for my laptop might be another option.
Jackie
