She bought a new mobile phone a while ago, with some fancy new features... In desperation one night, while needing to connect to the Internet but unable to get the plug in the wall to work, or find a wireless network that actually worked, she decided to click on the 'Internet Connection' button on the phone software that she'd installed so she could synchronise 
her phone's address book with the one on her computer.
her phone's address book with the one on her computer. Imagine her surprise when the Internet Connection button actually connected her to the Internet. So this is how it works. She's in Provinctown, with a laptop and a Telstra mobile that has Global Roaming and she just plugs em in and rips. It's slow. I mean slo-o-o-o-o-o-w but it's better than nothing. Lots better. No idea how much it costs. That's going to be interesting!
Here's a pic of the setup. Wireless keyboard and mouse, tiny lappy and the glowy blue mobile phone. Ye gods. Could we have imagined this outside Star Treck ten years ago??
