Bruce, I am in the third week of 4 weeks on the road while my husband does oral histories of World War II vets for the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas (http://www.nimitz-museum.org/).
I do most of my work through databases on the Internet and have only had to use a few vacation days so far. I have a 12" PowerBook G4 running 10.3.9 with an Airport card. I am sending this from my T-Mobile HotSpot account from Starbucks in West Bend, Wisconsin. I have also used SBC FreedomLink and various WiFi connections in Best Westerns and Days Inns in Oklahoma & Arkansas plus the public library and Coffee Beans in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. I also have a T-Mobile Internet account that I access through my Motorola V188 (through a firewire / USB cable). You can use your cellphone as a phone while you are online. The cellphone access easy to use and I have even used it in a moving car, but it is slower than WiFi so I only use it when the other is not available. It's very easy to switch from one source to another. I've used the cellphone on our land in the Bradshaw Mountains near Prescott, Arizona. 30 years ago my husband's used a radio phone (in a big suitcase) to communicate with his company when we were camped on the mountain. Now I can access the Internet there! How far we've come and how great that is!
