Kids/Wife hogging the PC?

just found out today that I could connect my Mobile to the Wireless ADSL broadband modem in our house and browse the internet for free, nice alternative when you need some info and dont want to fire up the PC or worse someone else is on it!

Most on here might already be aware of this but thought it was worth sharing for others like me who arent totally IT literate!

Even better when you are somewhere and you find out someone has un-secured wireless... just borrow theirs :)

Also if you work in town, around the city Internode has a number of hotspots where you can access the net with your wifi on your phone and of course with your laptop. I know I use it a bit, great for getting on here during lunch time!

Thats what I do mate, take a coffee break every now and then. It will actually incerase your productivity. And heck looking at things you cant on the net for free is great.
