Taking Tecnology with you

[hendrix46]

 If it wasn't for the "techy" stuff this forum wouldn't exist! Oh how we all loved deemacs post from SS to let us know what was happening there. Looking forward to posts from Tony and others while they're out there. Not as good as being there but the next best thing. Make it work for you.

Must admit it was great getting Deemacs reports on our favourite holiday resort.

it was....average tbh if he hadnt done it would you be less excited than you are now anyway?

Of course technology is important it's just, personally,  I dont feel the need to carry it around with me on my hols, that's all, I recognise other people have different needs and wishes

Luddite? I thoughtthe Luddites were a social movement of British textile artisans in the early nineteenth century who protested—often by destroying mechanized looms—against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution, which they felt were leaving them without work. This would be a bit like Zimmer,
who would destroy all the worlds computers - in fact everything except except his wind-up gramaphone - His Masters Voice rules!! LOL!!

O M G - the last of the living Commodore 64's - (the Group was great by the way!!), You'll be installing electricity in to your house soon,
maybe an inside toilet that flushes, (toilet paper to replace the dock-leaves), running water, not from the well in your garden, even a gas supply to get rid of the woodburner!
I was an Atari Man - but went onto greater things!!

PS - Don't forget your Laptop!!
Perhaps we should map out the wifi hotspots

[Jules]

We are thinking of getting a notebook laptop thingy. Did you find it a a very useful item on holiday and also did you manage to find plenty of places with wiifi?
Which network did you use?

[Gillywoo]

Hi JulesT

I bought one just before we went to SS and we found it really useful.

We stayed at the Teresa's and could pick up wifi there, plus hubby wuld take it to the Condor (when the heat got too much!), and could log on there. I think most places should be ok as corfu.net have a coverage even if the bar doesn't have it's own.

I know it is quite sad, but I do like to know what is going on in the world, plus you can keep an eye on this forum!!

Also, I could email work and keep rubbing it in as to how much of a wonderful time I was having. Must say their replies were not as friendly!!

[Jules]

Hi Gillywoo. Thanks for that. We are staying at Teresa as usual and that is good to know.

[tonyco1]

There are a few places that are Wifi dead zones as I found out, including our Apartments (Theodosia) unfortunately!!
I often used the Condor, Aquarios and a few outside spots including the beach - just to test it out!

[zoe]

just bought a netbook any advice would be great only just got the hang of the computer will take to san stef so we can email home to liam rather than phone
