I’ve been seriously behind the times as far as portable devices go, but I’m making up for it today by posting my first entry from my new Toshiba laptop, while sitting in my lazy boy in the living room, with the new wireless router ensconced safely in the study.

I could get used to this.

My daugher inherited my barely wireless old Dell, which lately has also been barely not on fire. We’ll have to fix that or replace it soon.

Within a week or two, once the mild sticker shock from this purchase has worn off, I’ll probably go and pick up an HP portable printer to go with this thing, so I can write up real estate purchase agreements, either at Starbucks or at real coffee shops. This is actually a price tradeoff from what I thought was really cool, a tablet PC.

Quite incidentally, this PC is running Windows Vista. Vista has not been failing left and right, but neither has it been overly impressive. It’s a memory hog, so count on a gig or more of memory to run it. I counted some 432 Mb in use just to sit there — your mileage may vary.
