It's not the cost of the dongle that is the problem. Keri said she looked into it and the service wanted a two year contract (!!!!!$$$$$) which is why it would be great if someone already had a dongle they could simply lend to her.

The one frustrating thing for Keri at the moment is that the facility where she is staying does not have wireless internet, so she would need a wireless dongle + service to be able to get online. She has not been able to do any work for the Pyramid since the accident on June 5th. If there are any technically inclined Nomads out there that might have a dongle she could borrow I am sure it would be greatly appreciated.
If there is no wifi available its my understanding a dongle is useless, don't know that much about it it, just what I heard. Unless you meant if someone had a aircard they were not using to loan her. That would work.

The facility does not have wireless, therefore she needs a USB dongle to be able to access a wireless service provider like Verizon.

An aircard and a dongle are basically the same thing.

An update


Jaime and I spent some time with Keri yesterday at Sharps Convalecent Hospital in Coronado...What a tough lady. Thirteen pins in her right hip and they already have her hopping, one legged, down the hallways.

She in a real quandry because stairs are not going to be at all good for her for the next three months...just picture all of the stairs for her NOT to climb at the Pyramid...and you can understand why she is so concerned.

Anyway, we took a copy of this thread to her to show how many great Nomads had chimed in to voice support. She thanks you all and particularly commented on Woody's phone call.

She is looking forward to getting home and moving on. Mike suffered at least four breaks in his left wrist and is apparently doing well at home.
She is going nuts because of the lack of WiFi.

Yep. Mucho thanks for your update, Bernie.

13 pins in the hip. That's a really nasty injury. Really hope Keri can rehab and get back to normal. Soon.

Just talked to her over the phone. She's back in México, she sounds good, I could'nd hear very good but she has a broken pelvis and is on a walker. Those that know the resort, are aware of the stairs. I told her I'd come by to see her. Yes , it was just after we met at the store in Rosarito.
I'll keep you all posted.
