Nothing done tonight, yay me. My new MobilePro came in today, so I’ve been getting the thing on it’s feet. I’m still having trouble with my WiFi card, seems Windows doesn’t want to play nice with it. I might track down a nice Linksys card and palm this one off on my roommate, since I’m giving him my old 790, and this card works like a charm on that one. So far, though, I’m liking the thing. It’s got a beefier processor and more memory, and a USB port, so I can plug in a mouse or pen drive I guess. The better hardware and updated OS (and bundled apps) makes web browsing less painful, and PocketDOS runs a hell of a lot quicker.

For those of you playing the home game, I don’t have a Palm or PocketPC because those don’t have a keyboard. I don’t need a PDA, I need a portable word processor. Unlike a laptop, which has to boot up as normal, a MobilePro comes on instantly, in whatever state I left it in. (Also, the thing only weighs like two pounds and is less than half the size of a laptop.) And unlike all the PocketPCs and Blackberries with those half-assed “thumb-boards,” the Mobilepro line has a touch-typeable keyboard, about 92% the size of a normal keyboard, or so I’m told. In other words, it’s a portable device that I can write on. I’m glad we had this little talk.

(I think it’s apparent I didn’t even come close to getting anything drawn tonight.)
