Funny you should mention that, he told her at first that it would not be 
possible for her to use the Internet, even with a cable.  GF thinking 
that honesty is the best policy told him (yes, this computer science 
graduate) that she had been happily using the Internet while he was in 
Cuba for two weeks and she set it up herself.
