Roaming internet.

Well seens how i'm currently on holiday in turkey i thought it was appropriate to write about how i am accessing the internet.
Well the hotel has no pay to use computers and the internet cafes are quite a while away. Fortunatly the laptop i am using has a mobile internet card built in. Which is capable of GPRS, EDGE and what not, even 3G. But with Turkey being a little more slower in the tech space there is little 3G if any i know about, that being said i am currently pulling a stron edge signal at around 237kbs which is perfectly acceptable for browsing on the move.

So the killer question, would i buy it? Well yes, if i had the money. Currently the card is being paid for by the company my dad works for so i have no idea how much it costs. But were it a reasonable cost i would snatch one up in an instant, it it comforting to a tech head like me that the internet is availiable where i want it.

Plus on a related note, the dell latitude d430 is a great laptop, using a 9 cell battery and dual core ultra low voltage cpu it is fast and will last a good 6 hours plus.
