IT Question
Chaps,
There's a whole bunch of you out there who know these things, so I'd appreciate input.
What do I need to buy for my Laptop so that I can use wireless internet while I'm out and about? At home I don't have a wireless router or such, but I do have a very long cable down to the normal router, so intarweb access isn't a problem there.
Any idea of costs and such I should be looking out for?
Thanks.

It's possible to get a PC-MIA card for a laptop, which will work on pretty much any pooter that has the requisite slot.
What's your laptop model?

Ah. Now you're asking. I won't know until I get home tonight. It is only 18 months old, though.

The one I have (virtually waves dongle in air) came with my wireless router and might not be generic enough to work with all networks, but then nothing will be.
Amazon and everywhere else sell the little fellas.
you can borrow my dongle (virtually waves again) to try out if you like. But I will have to find which box the actual dongle resideth in.

Current 3G services are expensive but great fun as I can attest to, as my PDA fone thingy is so equipped and my O2 contract includes a data element that I can ill afford.
