"Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but remember you can only gain

There are other options involving mobile data cards and even using a
mobile phone as a modem. However they are usually very expensive. Data
charges are sually quite extortionate unless you are on an "all you can
eat" kind of plan. Also veering somewhat off topic, personally I worry
a little bit about public Wi-Fi hotspots because you are sending data
out in the clear. I don't think most of the general public have really
cottoned onto that just yet so be careful about your use of public
access wireless.

Hi Paul
