    Hi all. This may sound strange, but as I am a novice at using my Sony Vaio, the question may seem, well, impossible. Is there a dongle for the Sony notebook that will connect me to the internet in Europe (say while on holiday)? I don't want a contract, just want to top up as I go. Anyone any ideas? I am in Ireland, by the way. Thanks. :)

    You could get a mobile broadband dongle from your phone company but roaming is likely to be expensive. Personally, I tend to just rely on wifi when I'm away and ensure that any hotels I stay in offer it.
