Guess what happened to me yesterday? I accepted a Senior Engineer position with a company up in SF. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) I start on May 16th (by my own request).
I'm going to be picking up a laptop computer, in part so I will have something to do on the long train rides up to the City. I figure that will be my Bird Board and 914club BBS time--so I need some kind of wireless 'net connection that I can use on Cal Train. Does anybody have any suggestions? (Suggestions about laptop systems are also welcome.) --DD |

we got a TDK Bluetooth PCMCIA card for Joy's HP, lets us talk to the GPS for in-car live update Streets & Trips (my Palm T3 already had built-in Bluetooth which is why i bought the GPS unit i did...) her HP has built-in 802.11g but i have an 802.11b SD card for the Palm. we're pretty much covered, although we don't have Bluetooth phones (and i can't see needing them, in our environment.) and we have no wired telephone service...
Bluetooth is only about 1Mbit/sec tho, tops, although that's still probably faster than the available mobile INet connection... |
