To connect or not to connect, that is my question

Been seeing this advertisment in the newspapers for quite a while so I decided to take a look at the details on their website. It is quite an attractive option for people who carry their notebooks almost everywhere they go, & they can be connected to the net when there is no WAN / WLAN / LAN. For a student studying in NTU, the whole campus is covered by NTU's network, however CITS is filled with morons & moronic people who ban / filter out websites with anything vaguely obscene in them to the point of slapping themselves in the face. If you think I'm making this up or making it sound worse than it really is, I invite you to come to out school for a little trip down our policed information highway.

Internet access isn't really free elsewhere too, since those at Burger King or Changi Airport or Suntec City or Coffee Bean need some form of subscription. So I guess this is a universal option, where you need only 1 network card to surf them all. What's more, the 68sgd bill is for unlimited data transfer, so if nobody else uses internet at home, it's more practical to get this plan rather than a seperate network for the home.

Do note that this does not work on a Mac (not fair!!!). Sigh. The whole world can turn against us, but we Mac users will prevail & prove that you can bring us down, but you can never take us out. Oh, light users can opt for the cheaper plans with allocated data limits. Exceeding them is not really advisable because it will cost you extra.

Ja neh!!!
