Is it because you have wireless or that new internet stick that lets you access the net practically anywhere?

Because if the first, yeah it is nice... in a quaint sort of way.

If the other... RAPTOR JESUS AWESOME!

we have a little wireless network.

It's old tech by now, but novel to me.

I saw a dude at work that had one of those thingies that you stick in it and acts like a modem or something. I thought it was like a huge (for tech) memory stick that could hold like over 1G memory.

I've got one of those cards that allow me to access the internet anywhere...for my work computer. I think my boss called it an "air card" or something like that. It is pretty dang sweet, that's for sure. I'll probably bring it to GenCon.

I want a full system in my head that let's me access the net anytime and anywhere. I would also get a thought writer so I would not have to type either.

Looking at Tree's count I'd say he knows where to get one.
