The Professor Returns from Web Exile with Mobile Web

Being away from the web for 8 days was an interesting experience. It was a little tantalizing - I could have accessed it but for 55 cents a minute - nah - this was way more fun going cold turkey.

However I did find a new tool/toy. The Autonet web device. Wow this is a way cool device and well worth having if you rent from Avis. The package is $10 a day and I rented it in the MIA/FLL area without losing a signal. Used it in the hotel, an office and some houses visiting folks and had 4 people accessing it including a very heavy web chat user. Performance was quite acceptable for email and standard surfing.

The package comes in 3 components - the 3G router which converts 3G into Wifi, a car power adapter and a household power adapter. Its simple to set up - plug in the power and select the autonet unsecured router. Go to your web browser and type in the pin code.

Voila.

Chat Soon
