I gave up travelling with my Mac-Powerbook about 18 months ago. The notes and informations I need travelling are now stored in my PALM III - but I don't use that for internet-connections.

To check emails "en-route" I have often the following choices:
* business-centers at hotels I stay (but they are sometimes quite costly, so I limit my time there for 15' sessions): in the last 12 months I remember having used them: Oriental Bangkok, Marriott Riverside Bangkok, Sheraton&Towers Manhattan, Sheraton Melbourne, O'Hare Hilton (Matt showed me since then a better place in the UA terminal), The Ritz HongKong, Sheraton&Towers Rio de Janeiro.
* airport lounges (free at AC Maple Leafe lounges: I used YVR), not free in some international UA Red Carpet Clubs (Frankfurt), not free in Lufthansa Business Lounge (Bremen, Munich)
* in airports: O'Hare (UA-terminal), San Francisco (UA, Quick.... kiosk)
* in companies I am doing business with (Beck's Bremen, wine-producers in Napa Valley, Baccardi Puerto Rico)
* in Internet Cafes: near the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Connaught-Place New Delhi (the dirtiest keyboard I have ever seen), Stockholm, Zurich.
