Blatant plug for me selling my wares

[The Great Cornholio]

Over in the classifieds, I'm selling a PC, my Pocket PC and as PS2 steering wheel! Don't know how many people look at that without prompting so I thought I would prompt!

I'm not too sure how you would get anything with any speed. You can use your mobile to connect to a laptop to surf the net but you won't get much more than 15-20k. You could get a XDA which is a PDA and phone built in - again, this is only going to be about 20k.

Your best hope would be if the places you park up at have wireless access but I doubt that many places have that.

A quick search on the net shows that you can get satellite access in the States but that is probably extremely expensive

Thanks.

Picture the conversation:

Police Officer: Can you please explain why you were weaving all over the road back there sir.?
dougdeep: Well, I've just got this new in-cab satellite internet system installed.
PO: And what has that got to do with it.
dd: Well you see I was surfing NSC.
PO: NSC.?
dd: Yeah, North Stand Chat. You mean you've never heard of it.
PO: No.
dd: Well it's a superb website, where I can get up to the minute information on all manner of topics.
PO: for example.?
dd: John Prescott and his Falmer decision, DK's new shirt colours for the Albion, and of course FG.
PO: FG.?
dd: Yep FG. Football Genius allegedly.
PO: Anyway, that doesn't explain why you where weaving all over the road back there.
dd: Officer, get onto NSC, and tell me that you wouldn't weave all over the road after reading a post by Easy 10.

1) Get a notebook PC.

2) Plug in one of these (cost: £75 + monthly plan):

(Or new alternative from Orange)

Job's a goodun.

Are these faster than 20-30k Wozza?

 

[Wozza]

It's 3G. Maximum 384kps.

Oh, and it works all over Europe.

 

[dougdeep]

Thanks again.

And me, an IT Tech! I've never really looked at 3G - we'll probably get it at work in about 10 years time - we've only just got GPRS.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Blimey - just looked at the prices.

Vodafone Prices

 

[Wozza]

Ai, but it is for businesses.

Sorry if I hijacked your thread, thanks yet again, I don't think I can afford it on my wages. If I were you I would advertise your stuff again and give it the odd bounce too.
