And when I'm on vacation without access to our laptop, I confess that I do use any available computer if at hotel where we're staying (many major national hotel chains offer a public computer for hotel guests with no-cost Internet connection) or go to public library if not far away, to manage my inbox via webmail...at least once a day if means are convenient.

It really helps during extended vacations, otherwise one is downloading over 100 emails in a few days, of which some is spam.
