The Vodafone Connect Card Makes Remote Internet Access a Breeze

Freelance writers know the minute they stop writing is the minute they stop earning. Sure there are some cool benefits like working at home and working when you want. But if you’re trying to earn a living of any kind, you know darn well that if you don’t write, you don’t eat. And this writing gig, love it though I may, has prevented me from doing some activities with my daughter or my wife. There were times I literally couldn’t afford to break away from my computer in order to meet a deadline for a client. 

So prior to this summer, I was in kind of a crisis-mode: I knew having a laptop allowed me to keep writing. I could write while sitting under a palm tree or where ever. But what I couldn’t do was access the internet to enable me to do research. And because some of my freelance work required me to do research, I had a problem and some serious limitations. Either I would spend a lot of time hopping back and forth to various “internet café’s” so I could access the internet or I would have to go on hiatus with a few clients for the summer, which brings me back to what I wrote in the first paragraph about eating. 

Well, apparently the European telephone service provider “Vodafone” heard my cry for help, because no sooner did I start breathing in and out of a paper bag to stop my hyperventilating, I discovered the recently-introduced the “Vodafone Connect Card” and suddenly everything in my life became rosy again. 

In all its simplicity, the Connect Card is palm size data-card that inserts into your laptop via the PCMCIA card slot. The connect card is compatible with Windows XP and Windows 2000 and allows you high-speed access to the internet, your e-mail or your company network no matter where you are.
