[thelist] internet on a laptop

[Jeff Wilhelm]

When I'm mobile I use SprintPCS' data network to stay connected. You can get
a PCMCIA card for a laptop, although I connect via Bluetooth to my Treo 650.
Both work well. Not the fastest currently, but with the EV-DO upgrades in
progress now, speeds will be rising quickly.
