How many have laptops...

I have two.

I have a Toshiba with Windows XP that I bought when my old laptop died this past Thanksgiving, and a Gateway with Windows Vista that I bought about a month ago with my desktop died.

I guess this was my time to spend way too much money on computers, LOL.

 

i got the Dell laptop running in the truck......................

 

Don't get anything from those clown's in the truck stop's like Interstate Connections at the TA in Denver which went out of business some time back and I got screwed over for an air card that wouldn't work from AT&T. As of now because they never turned it off and extracted my name from the contract I still as of today owe AT&T a sum of $1,300.00. If dealing with anythign of the such, go to the Best Buy or AT&T/Sprint etc to get it and not those ###### t/s con artists.

 

holy ####!

 

I retired my old laptop this fall, and Got a new one this winter, I have for 2 years now used it for My own E Log and Mapping software, I do all my Trip sheets also, In conjunction with my GPS unit in the window. Trip planning time is cut way down. Have a printer in truck also

 

I am gonna be testing the new "Spirit" jailbreak for my iPhone 3GS + tethering. Been holding off on an "aircard" until something like this was released.

 

I bought a HP DV4 Pavillion around Christmas on sale for $500 at Best Buy.
AMD Turion x2 dual core processor
4 GB RAM
232 GB Harddrive

Windows Vista Premium, I have a free upgrade for Windows 7 but I heard many had problems with the upgrade so I decided no.

I also bought my 1st wireless mouse. This is a must with laptops. I wish I done that long ago. Makes life easier.

 

How much does this airtime eat away your cell bill. I have an iphone and a laptop. I am on an older HP Pavillion dv2000 .

 

So how long you testing it? What is the cost? I wonder how it will affect minutes? I look forward to hearing more.

 

I start in this job with a laptop. Not a classic map(sorry if I dissapointed someone). I'm not a cyber trucker but I can't live without internet. Is always open on my right side and GPS-me where I want. Also my logbook is on the computer and I have to use it quite often.
Is a usefull piece of equipment from a lot of points of view. I find my loads online, if I can't find an adress I will find it for sure online, if I need a repair or so is findable online etc. Today almost everything is online. I just can't live without it.
While I drive I keep open just the GPS software, but at night or when I have to stop and have time is a relaxing tool.
I do have internet with Verizon(5 GB/month) and is quite enough if I dont stream a lot. I have the internet plan USA + Canada and I'm so happy (mostly in Canada) coz the adresses there are not so friendly to find (and Quebec is famous for that).
This is the second laptop (the first died premature coz of vibrations) and the way I fix it now is stable and the screen is not moving like the old one use to.

Like a conclusion: I love having at my right hand any information I need to know, at anytime, everytime.
