8/29 How do you connect to the internet when you are travelling?
(work or vacation)
\_ i find the nearest university, go into their main library, and
can usually use the computers there.
\_ Vacation? That's what vacation is for. *Not* connecting to the
net. Bring a book. Not a technical manual. A real book. Enjoy.
\_ The internet has this useful stuff called 'information'. It's
often useful to have this 'information' about the place that
\_ I don't. In fact, I avoid being connected at all when on vacation
\_ McDonald's parking lot.
\_ they have wi-fi??
\_ duh. would you like fries with that?
\_ For work, I usually make sure that I stay at a place with
broadband. Barring that I use one of my isp's nationwide
callin numbers. Usually in foreign countries I just buy a
short term card that allows for dialup access.
When I go on vacation I leave my computer behind.
\_ If I'm on vaction in the states and feel a need for an email
fix I just drop by a library. Baring that it is pretty common
to run into an internet cafe where you can check your email
for a couple of bucks.
you're travelling to, especially if you're not a native of the
area. |
