Now I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

It is almost worthless unless I find a free hot spot which I think is not common here in California, or I am at a site where I can pay for the connection and I am given the access key.

So that alternative is almost null. I don't want to pay if I can connect "free" (NOT REALLY) from home. Which is good since powering up a laptop just for e-mail and browising nowadays does not seem like a good alternative.
