...the world's most connected laptop.

I can now connect to the internet via the 10/100BT network card, Acer USB wireless network unit (so I can surf in bed or from the front porch, or wherever else I feel like being wireless in my home), built in 33.6 modem, or my SprintPCS phone as a wireless modem. The sad part is, it's only a Pentium 166 notebook.

Yes, I know I'm a freak.

I guess you won't be playing quake3, or UT from your porch![

 

[loup garou]

LOL. Man, I wish I had a laptop that was capable of playing 3d games. When are those GeForce chipsets for laptops supposed to be coming out? Maybe then I'll ditch my desktop...

 

[UnixFreak]

man you still have turbo pascal for DOS still in the wrapper?? Where the heck did you get that??

 

[loup garou]

yep! Borrowed it from my boss. He writes alot of Pascal code still, for small statistics programs. I actually borrowed it because Turbo C is in the box too, and I needed a C compiler and Borland's "museum" site was down. Old school baby!

 

[UnixFreak]

Pretty sweet. didnt know Borland had a "museum" site.. May have to look for a compiler for that 2-D 13h game I want to make... Its gonna give commander keen a run for its money...

Borland Museum

Requires a free registration for downloads, and is frequently down (it seems to be down now, as a matter of fact). I guess they host it off of a museum machine, too.

Do you have enough IRQs for that connectivity?

You did not mention Firewire or serial IRDA or nullmodem or DirectConnect!
