Tony The Condor has free wireless connection. We used it while there.
Thanks Beth, your not all miserable (mentally old), gits like the above then!!
Zimmer - I am going to have to take you in hand - you sound just like a mad recluse with a closed mind!!
A few beers will put you right!!
Swedebasher - I am with you on the camera stuff - but nothing wrong with a mobile phone for emergencies
and keeping contact with the family! But I don't do any work stuff on holiday so the blackberry stays home.
I tend to use a laptop to check my social emails, but generally scan them quickly while Linda is in the shower or getting ready,
Or even do a post here as I enjoy that! I don't let it take over my life in any way - but I embrace all technology stuff!
So if I am sitting around waitng for that odd hour after the beach - before you go out - I may log onto skype and do a video call to my cousin in Australia or my cousin in Singapore - we are close and chat weekly, also free international calls if you need them!
But mainly, besides being able to play a kids film if necessary to keep my grandson quiet, on a larger more watchable screen than an iPod, I use it to check that my photos are good and copy them onto the hard drive as a back-up.
So my netbook is not evil - its very useful!!
In fact my wife has taken it today with her to write reports on her work stuff while travelling between London - Bristol Airport by train, flying to Glasgow, and returning by plane to Heathrow.
So much more portable than a bigger - heavier Laptop and she did some on-line shopping on the train as well!!
The secret is always knowing when not to use it and not letting it become something you have to rely on - we don't for sure!!
Happy computing to all!! Long live the Net-book!! LOL
