Ron, I am still working so the company supplies me with a cell phone as well as a lap top and the internet/email connection I need to work out of my home. However, I am going to have to look at my alternatives when I retire. A cell phone with 10 or 20 minutes per month should do as I rarely use it for personal reasons. I will probably extend my existing DSL connection here at home for the internet but the cost will go down when I convert it to a personal use rather than a business use. I am hoping that the company will give me this lap top as it already has all of my personal favorites and connections in it. If they won't give it to me, I will try to buy it just so that I don't have to start all over entering my stuff into a new computer.
