Title: Laptops etc
Post by: spesh49 on September 02, 2010, 05:24:28 PM
Is it just me ? But i just find it very sad and strange that people while on holiday take laptops with them or use a pc to post or keep up with things on here, A pc is the last thing i want when on holiday.

It's not sad. Some of us have to provide support and maintain contact with key people.

Plus get the sports news, etc.

Plus get the latest from the forum!!!!

we take a net book so if our son needs to get hold of us he can email and  as he is 21 it just gives us a chance to remind him not to make a mess and i know he is not a boy hes a man now but when i hear his vioce i miss him it just gives us that piece of mind i know he could phone if there was a problem but it cost nothing to send an email we are getting tight in our old age lol!!!

We don't like to be cut off, also for business reasons, and great way for keeping in touch.
Those who don't - don't
those who do - do,
nothing sad at all - just as easy to say it's sad to not be in touch.
As Lilolil says' each to their own!

I can understand for buisness reasons, but not to follow whats going on on here etc. Here is an example

Me and my wife were sat in the condor bar and there was a family sat with a laptop, all you could hear the parents saying was "thats great the gas and electric have come out" if its a DD of course it come out do you really need to look on holiday.

But i know some on here have to comment on EVERYTHING  ;)

I can go along with that, Spesh. For me it is much more relaxing to log on for half an hour and pick up any issues than sit about wondering what's going on.

Last year I didn't have a laptop with me, had to walk about 5 hundred yards up to 3W to check mail, and had a big mobile phone bill. This year I could pop downstairs to the bar, have a G&T, check the mail, answer any problems, Skype my brother in Florida, read reviews of something I wrote - all for the princely sum of Nothing! I like that :-)

We always take our Net Book, its great for keeping an eye on the weather forecast as in September you never know if a rainy day is ahead and its best to be prepared.

I note its raining in Corfu today, thats September for you!
