Title: Be very afraid
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 23/02/2009 15:58:06
This is Doc on his new toy - a WiFi laptop - so now even when I'm stuck on my armchair I can still pester you all!

Did someone leave a tube of super glue on your armchair?

So you're not an armchair philosopher, just an armchair pestererer!

Unfortunately, on occasions I feel to weak to stand.

Hi Doc,

good to see you back!
You've got the wireless laptop for a good start...
now you need open air and a lot of sunshine to make plenty of D-vitamin:

...may be a UVBlamp for iguanas would sort the same effect.
Take care

Oh, that chair near that lake is soooooo tempting. Shall you push him in JimBob or shall I?

Thank you, Enrico. At least you are civil to me, not like these other peasants

I leave the pleasure for you. I have something other in mind.  [?] (beware, evil abounds around you!)

Hey! I have enough trouble going to the bathroom at my age anyway - NO MORE!

Congrats Doc! thats great! I bought this Moto "Q" for the same reason... so much bed rest that I needed access in my recliner and bed.. so my phone hee works great...its a mini computer and I love it!

I would however prefer a laptop for screen and key size!

This 1 is actually a notepad. Smaller and lighter than a laptop.

Key size isn't everything. It is what you do with it that counts.

One of those 9 inch sized with solid state storage?

It's roughly A4 size when closed and has a 160Gb hard drive. It's An Advent 4213 if you want to check it out.

I am looking at three - The Acer, the Samung and a Dell. Carrying around an 8# full-sized laptop is a pain in the shoulder, esp. if it is accompanied in your brief case by several pounds of paper and a couple of paper notebooks & a pad of note paper.

Whether or not Doc is posting TNS from his armchair or not,
he'll still be a quirky rodent/poster and a great one as well.  [;)]
