Oh, hang on, can you even use these in hospitals? Don't they use a sim card, and thus use technology that could disrupt medical equipment?

I want to get a card that plugs into my laptop so that I can send and receive Emails or browse the Internet on the move. Actually, on the move is just what I won't be (smile.) I'm hoping to be able to use my laptop at some point when I go into hospital soon for more back surgery. I'm on the Vodafone network, and I know there is such a card that plugs into a laptop. Has anyone used one and, if so, how have you got on with it? Thanks for any info anyone has about these and whether they are more trouble than they are worth, or even worth buying. I do have my phone set up to send and receive Email, but I don't know if I will be allowed to use it, and wondered if a card for my laptop might be another option. Jackie
