    If you don't mind, how much did it cost and what's the monthly cost?!?!...And is this something that plugs into my USB port or an internal card?!

    Thank you both, I think I will have to get one of those as I can barely live without getting online not being on the road, can't even imagine being out for weeks without it! :biggrin_25525:
