While I am waiting for my car, I decided to test a couple of things. First, I got a Lifebook U810 UPMC a couple of days ago. I’m trying to figure out if this computer is truly useful – or if it’s too small for these old eyes. No verdict on that yet.
Secondly – I’m -checking the internet access using my Blackberry. Hmm

I started this blog to talk about local politics, specifically Norfolk politics. It is impossible
to talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so you'll also find some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.

Holy semiconductors, Batman, that thing is TINY!
Good luck with it, Vivian. I just got a new laptop from the company, and ordered the one with the biggest screen!
I’ve had a small computer for years – see here. But my Sony U750P is getting a little long in the tooth and it was time for an upgrade. The other thing is that I’m trying to pack as light as possible for Denver
My “upgrade” in phones some time back took away my ability to connect my laptop to the net through my phone. Annoying enough that I may well end up reverting.
I’ll never be without the ability to connect to my computer using my phone. That’s an absolute no-go for me.
I have an Asus eeePC. It weighs less than 2 pounds, with a 7 inch screen, and a solid state drive (flash memory instead of a hard drive – this is the direction of all computers, very, very soon). I love it. I gave my 12 year old daughter one for her birthday.
Best of all – Linux!!! Open source. It cost me $351.00 on Amazon, with free shipping. I carry it everywhere. I wouldn’t be without it, now.
I’ve never gotten into Linux. It’s just not my thing. I know a lot of folks who have, though.
