The Whole Shebang: laptop, printer, gps, DDL, etc.

wouldn't it be cheaper to just walk in the truck stop and scan your material and they can even fax things for you also.

 

um ok. it just seems like a little over kill too me. call me old school or whatever but i don't carry a computer out there(and i have a laptop just sitting not being used), i go out there to work/make money and in my spare time(which isn't much) eat or sleep. i save the computer time for when i get to the house.

this would be a sufficent laptop

 

What kind of link is that? it opens my e-mail client.

 

I "made" myself a company (added "Company" after my last name) and got an instant $300. rebate from DELL, by buying as a small business.
What I got:
Inspiron 1501
1G Ram
180G HD
1.6G Dual Core AMD Athlon
256M video card
WXP
yadda
yadda
yadda

I paid a total of $701 (shipping/tax included)

DELL is about the ONLY company that still offers XP as an operating system.

PRINTER
I have a HP C3150 PhotoSmart All-In-One
About $80 at WalMart
It is a printer/scanner/copier AND has slots to fit 6 SD cards for your favorite Digital Camera

MSStreets and Trips DELUXE (2007) has an included GPS unit, but I have never used it (about $80)

DDL is now $95 for a lifetime license.

 

Sure, but the problem I have had is someone calling me and asking me to "re-fax" (multiple times) because there was something on the fax they couldn't read.

The TRUTH is, any place that has a FAX probably has an EMAIL ADDRESS as well.
This is what I do that works much better, is CHEAPER and FASTER.

I SCAN the documents on my scanner, I convert them to a PDF file (using this FREE program: http://www.cutepdf.com/) and email the PDF file to them. (I have Sprint Mobile BroadBand)

 

Ok OldSchool.....
Time to come out of that log cabin and into the 21st Century.

 

U R RIGHT, IT IS EASIER THAT WAY!
