Checking your email while on vacation is a little easier now than it used to be. It used to be close to impossible if your vacation took you to the tiny island-nation of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. The main island, Male', is not big enough to have an airport; travellers there fly in on sea planes. In a recent article the BBC has reported that wireless technology is finally making the Internet available in the out areas of Maldive Islands. So now you can vacation on your own private little stretch of sand in the Indian Ocean without being completely deprived of your email. Which is great for spam junkies...
