I do have a laptop, but at the moment it's not connected to the internet in any way. I think I may have to get a broadband hook up. I think I'll go for pre paid as I will only use it when we're travelling. I'm concerned that something will go wrong and being utterly useless with a computer I won't be able to fix it. I guess I could just go into a T shop.
At home I use DD's and pay for half the monthly account. I did have a lovely little gadget called a Pocketmail that you could use just for emails. It was brilliant. BUT, they have gone bust! Lucky my yearly fee was just about up.
