When I was in the hospital a few years go with kidney stones, I was using a little EEEPC netbook on HealthSpot & I don't recall any problems that I had, other than it timing out occasionally & having to sign back in.

I primarily use firefox because its what I'm used to, has the extension I want & because....well..Chrome sucks spherical objects. ;-)

With regards to tethering to your phone, you could try hooking it up to the wireless if it works easier (usually my phones have worked when I am there, unless I am out of range or they put intentional blocks on it) & then set it airplane mode so you aren't burning through data.

Conversely if you think you might be using a lot of data, you can often contact your provider & add extra data & then just cancel it before the next billing cycle. I did that when I was having some issues with provider & phone & data exploded. I paid $10 to get I can't recall how much extra data to cover the overage, but it was cheaper then paying for the per GB data charge.

I will be staying at the Peter Lougheed hospital for the time being. The only connection I have is Healthspot. It is a pain to hook up to. I have to  try various browsers and still a lot of muking around. Does anyone have any suggestions to get this working. Not a  lot of experience, so need a simple solution.


Thanks,

Joe
