New Laptop and mobile broadband (little OT) - 02/24/07 04:31 PM
Well I finally took the plunge and got a new laptop to replace my old coffee grinder laptop. I wanted mobility with a very small convenient size and plenty of power. I also wanted a mobile broadband connection after studying it for a year now.
I decided on a Toshiba 12" with a Duo Core 2ghz processor and 2 gig of RAM, 160 Gig hardrive. http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/pdet.to?seg=HHO&poid=359960
I also went with Verizon Broadband service which I'm using this morning.
What all this means is I now have a very portable laptop (as opposed to my old heavy, bulky one) that I can access the internet in most any populated area while in my car, or hotel room or most anywhere. Now retrieving a map or looking up phone numbers, locating businesses (read that gunstores in unfamiliar cities), email, shopping, and even accessing this bbs, are all very convenient. I'm just starting to use it this morning.
