I BUY A “ROAD TOOL”
Because I’m going on a month-long vacation south of snow, I decided I needed a “road tool” so I’d be able to send and receive e-mails and post entries to my blogs. I discovered a new product that seems to be perfect for the tasks I have in mind — a little navy blue Acer Aspire One Netbook that’s about the size of a slender hardback book and cost me only $285. It uses Wi-Fi for Web access and has a battery that lasts somewhere between three and four hours. So now I can visit cyberspace without wires of any kind, which will be a new experience for me. The only challenge is that the Acer uses Microsoft Windows, and I’m a Mac person. Oh well, Mac doesn’t offer a netbook, so I’m going to have to break the faith at this point in my journey.
