Well you do use the Internet so not all is lost. You could monitor your aquarium from home each day or each evening before the lights go off. As for traveling, you can bring a small notebook and use free wireless around, like at Starbuck for exemple or at your hotel. Many restaurants and shops now have free wireless. I use my cellular because often when I go to vacations it's in the middle of nowhere. But your situation is different...if it is to monitor something at work, it could very well be done with a controller and a net module and a web cam that you monitor from home.
Last vacations I was at Mingan Island photographying the Atlantic puffins. No civilization what so ever on that island but since it's about 10 miles from the shore the cell phone could get through so I could monitor my tank during the day.

I like my computer but I use my wifes cell ph when I go out...she usually makes me take it.  . Don't get me wrong, I luv technology, I just hate it when people can track me down when I want to get away.  |
