right now, I think the only companies offering a netbook with built in
broadband is Verizon or Sprint.
and they don't do month to month.. they will sell you a netbook at extreme
discount and want a two year contract.
It is the same marketing plan they use for their cell phones.

I do not think VirginMobile or Cricket has such a deal with the netbook

Face it, gliding software is mostly windows only. Seeyou does run on a Mac
- perfectly with Windows on Bootcamp
- perfectly except 3D with Windows over Parallels or Fusion
- acceptably with WINE (so I've been told), but without 3D

How about serial communication with Cambridge?

Most USB-to-serial adapers work just fine on Macs with most
applications. I've used one with Windows on Bootcamp with good success
(not gliding related), no idea how they work with Parallels or Fusion.

Thanks for all the valauble info. Sounds like I really need a
netbook. If I want to use the Virgin Broadband month to month
internet access without using the external USB plug in device, can I
buy a net book that has an internal connection to the internet through
Virgin Broadband?
