Collecting E-mail While Away from
Home (Addendum)

In last month's article I covered a
number of ways for collecting your e-mail while away from home. However just as the PC Update production date
arrived, yet another method came to light which enables collection of your e-mail using a Web browser from
where ever you happen to be.
ThatWeb (http://www.thatweb.com) is a site that will enable you to
simply enter your normal e-mail address and password similar to that shown in Figure 1. It will even work
with a Hotmail or other similar addresses -or at least those I have been able to test. I am sure there
probably will be more sites making this access available by the time you read this.
A trace to find the site shows that it is located in Singapore, so don't expect fast access or transfer rates
as your mail will be travelling a longer route than normal.
