IT Question

[caddyman]

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.

...but if you want to surf anywhere rather than at a hotspot, you will need either a 3G card with a sim in it, and a contract for the sim, or the electrical and financial mechanics that might turn your mobile fone into a 3G modem for the laptop.

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.
