I do know that in France the Wanadoo/Orange Liveboxes were very very difficult to get on - even when you had the password for them .

A beer brewed in Scotland will not taste the same as the same beer made to the same recipe when brewed in London .

We often travel by winging it and it is then good to have internet to search for the next hotel. In the past we have lugged his laptop with us, but now we don't need to. We will be winging it to a certain extent in France as we are pottering down to the first house, and pottering back up, so internet would be handy but it's not essential.
Mobile internet is too expensive roaming from NL, and I wouldn't use it here anyway - all my family have Wifi networks and there is always a McD or a train or something with free Wifi. Mobile internet is nearly impossible to organise in France I'm told, so I shan't be looking for a dongle and SIM there. So a few Internet free weeks. Will I survive?
BUT some tourist offices will let you use their connection I found that in a lovely wee village in the Loire - was charged € 0.50 an hour for their connection They were quite happy to let me plug my MacBook in using my own Ethernet cable to join on their Wanadoo/Orange.fr livebox .
It's also worth just having a try to connect in a cafe while having a welcome beer or coffee - many will give you a free connection then
I'll be doing this with my iTouch next month - don't think I'm taking the MacBook with me this time - I'll see how the packing goes - but the Touch will let me stay in Touch [ hahahahaha ] by e-mail
Many Hotels are also giving free Wifi though some still charge for it .

Alistair - why not get some Pentax lenses with either tints or photochromatic properties - much easier to handle and harder to lose - lol
Tony
Yeah TOZZA27 I agree Pentax lenses - good idea BUT they don't discreetly [ or not so discreetly ] tell the world that you know how good Pentax actually is .
