I just looked it up. It’s a netbook and the problem I
have with it is that both the keyboard is smaller than I am used to and I have
not figured out how to deaden the touchpad which I keep hitting with my thumb.
I also have to disable the caps lock key.
Still, until I can get the
combat laptop replaced it is going to be a whole lot better than nothing.
I was actually thinking of
getting a tablet of some sort with an external keyboard but I don’t think
that’s a good idea unless I can find a full sized external keyboard.
Right now there are other
problems to deal with in keeping my posts on line on a daily basis. The WiFi I
have been using is going to dry up soon and I’m going to have to get some kind
of wireless modem.
As I have posted earlier I
am a Luddite as far as cutting edge technology goes. I’ll admit that it is odd
for a guy that is a licensed ham operator. Most hams are technology guys. I’m
not.
Still, there is a way I can
get it together and keep things up and running. I’ll just have to get an IT guy
or someone to teach me and show me my options. I have faith.
I do have another combat
laptop coming but I can see the end of those being a viable option as the
technology keeps getting dated daily. Things in the internet seem to work
pretty fast. It seems like a week ago I got my first computer.
Anyway, we’ll see how things
pan out.
If push comes to shove and I
have to I will simply write my daily post wherever I am and post it when I can
get to a WiFi spot or someplace I can get on line.
We’ll see.

I've got a notebook computer I inherited, a little Acer with Windows XP.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was a joke, a little toy of a computer, but over the years, it's proven itself to be so handy, and totally reliable, that I've been using it more and more.
Sure, a bigger screen would be nice, and I'm ready to superglue that stupid capslock key fixed in place because my fat fingers hit it by mistake so often, but overall this notebook has done a lot of work.
