Testing new setup

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

About Vivian J. Paige

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

  1. 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!

  2. 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 ;)

  3. 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.

  4. I’ll never be without the ability to connect to my computer using my phone. That’s an absolute no-go for me.

  5. 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.

  6. I’ve never gotten into Linux. It’s just not my thing. I know a lot of folks who have, though.
