Subject: Tech: 3G Mobile - nerd alert!
Ooooh - Scuse me while I play:-)

Because I am -

a) A computer god
b) A technophile
c) A nerd with to much time on my hands
d) A sucker for the latest gadgets
e) All of the above
f) None of the above

I am bringing you this thread courtesy of my T-Mobile 3G USB modem. For the plebs amongst you who don't understand it gives me high speed internet over what is, effectively, a mobile phone. The bad news is that now, on trains, you will get idiots on the mobile phone saying "Hold on, Nigel, I'll send you the latest sales figues by email as soon as we get a signal..." Shudder, shudder.

Anyway. Less than £30 a month. Useage limit? Not sure yet if it is 3Gb or unlimited subject to fair usage. I'll find out. Well worth it for those with no land line or cable. Like me in my Newcastle flat while working.

Just had a very nice dinner of fresh herring fillets and egg fried rice. Off to an open mic night in an hour. Life doesn't get much better:-)

Cheers

Dave
