Thanks for the suggestions. I see having the n800 connected to the net is pretty essential for getting things done. I'll look into getting wireless for my home - otherwise I'll take the NIT into the city where there are free wi-fi hotspots and see what I can achieve.

Funnily, my main goal in getting the n800 in the first place was not for its internet capability - but as a small portable word processor for my ebooks. But I'm sure once I get the net up and running more and more possibilities will open up
