I've travelled with a laptop for years, and that's what I usually use. But =
the
hotels I stay in are in all parts of the world, and while we take cheap loc=
al
phone access for granted in the U.S., in many countries it's exorbitantly
expensive (the hotels charge a lot for it anyway). And ISPs that have
world-wide dialup access charge by the minute. So Internet cafes and hotel
business centers are frequently the most economical way of connecting to the
Internet.
