| 2: Carry a Web-enabled smart phone and carry 
| a big (16GB USB) stick

| proficient with a favorite mobile browser. 
| Store bookmarks. Most phones support flash 
| cards where additional remediation software

| Free operating system: Letâs start with the 
| operating system (OS). A Microsoft OS is chosen 
| by a majority of users as no retailer bothers 
| to inform buyers about the free to load open 
| source OSes like Red Hat, OpenSolaris or the 
| most popular one, Ubuntu. A word of caution: If 
| you are a newbie at open source, it might be 
| advisable to get a technical expert to upload 
| the OS.

| Cost Saving: An entry-level Microsoft OS would 
| cost you between Rs 4,000 and Rs 14,000.
