Geek-o-rama

Next week I have two meetings in Redmond and an all day meeting downtown. I do not want to haul my laptop all over everywhere just so I can get email and look up shit. So... I dug out the old Fujitsu tiny notebook. It's got nearly no memory and is slow as Christmas but it's under 2 pounds and tiny.

I hadn't opened it in months. It needed a bazillion updates which it got and then I found a couple of things to speed it up. The onboard wireless is a dog and then I remembered I had a little USB wireless adapter that I got free with something so I plugged that in and BAM! The machine is still slow but the wireless speed went from 11Mbps to 54Mbps! That helps.

I can also use the Treo as a modem if I can't find a network. So it's a nice little purse email/browser machine.

It's defragging now. It's been forever since I have defragged a machine.

The Mariners won.

Nice day and now I think I'll do some knitting and tv watching... for a change...

This is the Lifebook next to my desktop computer at my old desk at Microsoft.

Aw, it looks like it's sitting next to its big brother.

That's so cute I can hardly stand it. I don't think I'd be able to read the screen on that tiny little thing.
