There are so many great cars from Toyota and Honda from that era, too. If only they kept making 1/2G LS/GS, Mk4 Supras, 1G Tacomas, NSX, S2000s, B18 Civics. Way to ruin my day (:D /s) by bringing up their current offerings.

Seconded. Kai W (& Lok) was solid when he was there, since he would trash things that deserved it and his juvenile objectivity was humorous. Now they seem more generic in the "this marginally better camera is 100% worth buying&quot

If not that, maybe try PdaNet. It is $10-15 for a license and it can mask that you're tethering through a tunnel from desktop->phone, so everything gets counted as mobile data instead of hotspot data.
