5 GB is a size. Basically if all you do is surf the web, and listen to pandora for 40 hours in the month, you'll be ok.

This site would probably come in right around the listing for a basic website. This page with this current thread is 18K.

I know it's a size...I guess I could have phrased it differently I really meant what does it mean in usage terms....you know how much....:)

5 gig should be plenty as long as that isn't your main access to the net. I don't download a lot of video which eats a lot but I am basically on all day every day. Through the 20th I have used 11 gig total.

I'm honestly just debating on whether it's really worth it or not....IDK

LOL...Not just camping.....you see around here...unlike bigger cities, you can't get onto wireless just anywhere.....so my laptop does me no good...except for at home. I want access no matter where I go (if I have it with me that is)
Just using camping as an example....:)

Lot of campgrounds have WIFI now. I was just looking at media servers. I'm thinking of loading up one with a bunch of movies so when we are camping out I can access it through a laptop and watch movies at night around the campfire. Ahhh 21st century roughing it. Only a 15" screen

Last summer I went camping and a friend of mine had some sort of portable ac unit for his tent ... I was so jealous!

Those are neat. I have a regular AC on the trailer. I used to love tent camping but getting gimped put an end to that.

Not that is makes much difference but there looks to be at least 30 objects on the page averaging probably 5K apiece. How did you come up with 18K?

LOL....My camping consists of a 31' "camper" with central heat and air....my own bedroom with a t.v.....another bedroom down the hall with 4 bunks and t.v. hook up...bathroom with shower and small tub, full kitchen with oven, microwave, frudge/freezer, dining area, living room with couch and t.v....and we have a portable dish network dish..
SO WHY NOT have the internet too :)
Sad thing is, we have had it 2 years and only used it once :( last summer we never got to at all....and this summer I SWEAR we are going somewhere.....

. Ours is a 29 foot 5th wheel toy hauler. We haven't taken it out in 4 years. I've seriously thought about selling it and the Super duty and just buy a place on a lake somewhere.
