Excellent! you can spend even more time behind the bar! 

[Bar Wench]

That is the plan!

Isn't going to be purchased right this second though. Now I have finished paying off the graduate loan I need two months to save up for this little baby.

Predictably pink!

I have just purchased one of these ~ so that I can "roam". Actually to use when I am doing family research ~ mobile internet connection etc.  Weighs less than 1kilo f'ing fast and bags of memory for what I want. 'Bout the size of a decent hardback book.



Linux Preloaded ..... No MSoft crap.

Courier delivery awaited as I type ~ I'll let you know when it arrives.

They did look pretty cool. If I didn't actually want it for pc related stuff I would so have gone for one of those.

Must be something in the air (so to speak) in the VP. I'm thinking of getting a new laptop too. IT bods at work have had a look at my present one, can't suss out what's going on. So, I'm going to try a re-install of windows, if that doesn't work, a new laptop beckons

Cool!

It takes a lot to impress me but I have to say I am impressed with this bit of kit. Linux is a doddle, the system simply started at the touch of a button and even I can find my way round the whole thing without recourse to the handbook. Dinky keyboard would not suit a "touch typist" but since I am a three finger (at best) operator no probs. Boys are tremedously impressed with the built in camera and the sound and picture recording which even an idiot like me can use. Internet wireless connection is simple and works. I have piggybacked on my neighbour's wireless wifi (should I tell him it is not as secure as he thinks) My own wireless set-up rejected me until I had put in the necessary passwords etc.. and then it worked.
I have to go out in a bit and may visit McDonalds later for a coffee ~ just to try out their Wifi Hotspot.

For those who like an assesment of these things on the "Cool Rating" this is deffo minus 45deg. Which is presumably why they have a little penguin as their logo.

Cooler that Jeremy Clarkson that's for sure, nearly as cool as Steve McQueen and there is nothing cooler than him.

If it runs Linux are files created on it compatible with a PC running Windows?
