Excessively pedantic thinking, Tom.
On these trips, my "internet access device" is an iPhone or iPad, using
the 3G telephone network, which is often not available where I go. Wifi
is usually even less available.
While technically an iPhone or iPad is a "computer", I don't carry my
working files on either of them, nor do I have programs installed for
working on those files.
Lastly, my partner and I deliberately don't use the term "computer" for
iPhones or iPads, because we've found that a lot of people in our age
group don't want anything to do with computers (due to negative
experiences in the past) but, given the right encouragement (by seeing
how easy it is to do something that interests them), they will take
readily to an iPhone or iPad. And they don't know, or need to know, that
when using the telephone network, they are actually connecting to the
internet for some purposes.
