Desktop 3.0

When I set my office up six years ago, who would have thought about 24″ LCD Monitors? Not me, for sure.

Desktop 3.0

I had to turn the desk around so everyone could enjoy them.

order up

I chose the Acer Travelmate 4500. It was the lowest price notebook with a DVD burner that I could find.

The G4 Powerbook is nice, but too expensive at this point. I looked carefully at the IBM Thinkpads, no DVD burner and 256 mB ram did them in.

With second day air, it was $983.

trip details

The mileage to Henderson is 1300 miles. I can rent a car from Alamo for around $350. I am planning on nine driving days and seven off days. I would like to take a trip to Phoenix and maybe Tuscon. I may not get this way for some time.

A trip around the Grand Canyon may be in order. Then it’s off to San Diego, L.A., and San Francisco.

And yes, the D70 is here. I need to order a waterproof enclosure. Drooooooooooooooooooool.

road trip

I am going to be taking a trip to Henderson, Nevada very soon.

My father is not well and I really should go see him.

Anyway, I was thinking of driving the inland route down to Henderson, then taking the coast road back. I expect a D70 any day now. Wolf Camera has the deal. I’ll have sixteen days off. Hooray.

Now I need a laptop. That G4 Powerbook looks really nice.
