One, Two, erm……3?

As I think I mentioned already, I was lucky enough to get a Netbook for Christmas.  Of course, to get the full benefit of my new machine, I really needed a Mobile Broadband connection to go with it.  Since I would want to take the machine to hospital in Liverpool with me, I was looking for a “Pay As You Go” Broadband Dongle that had coverage here at home and in Liverpool.  This narrowed the choice somewhat.
