Me and My Laptop

Well I can take it to bed with me,and read my email(reply to it) and
read the posts here in astronomy(do not know how to reply to them yet)
Still its cold using my web on the porch. This way I read your posts,and
have more time to analyze them. This should make for better posts by
me(hopefully) Is having a laptop,and a web relative to having two
heads? Reality is they both can't be used simultaneously. I would not
give up my web for a million laptops. Go figure Bert

If you are using Google to acess Usenet, you have to create an account
giving a user name and a valid email address before you can reply to
posts. A code will be set to your email address which you must enter
to prove that it is a valid email address. It is free.

Double-A I('ll try that. Mean while its in the high 70s so its not
cold in the mornings. I think good(expensive) laptops must make a
difference. Laptop takes its time. One press of the button with a web
and your there. Go figure Bert

Probably has more to do how you are accessing the web than the speed of
the computer. Dial-up access is slow unless you have DSL. Cable modem
access is fast.

Double-A Just use a phone same as the web. still the laptop looks nice
sitting on my desk. Laptops must be this Christmas leader. They
are so cheap. Bert

Hey Bert
Why don't you for the heck of it see if your phone company
supports DSL? It's really the only way to make full use of a 'real'
computer (short of the turbo-speed Comcast). Also, with DSL you can be
on both your Webbie rig and the 'puter at the same time. The Webbie
really excels though, in doing NGs and serving as a spam trap. oc

If you are going through AOL, they will use your computer's resources
to download all their pop-up ad crap! That really slows things down.
You should find a REAL ISP.

Wait a minute Commander for what are you indicating, that AOL
is using all of Sean advanced super computer resources to maintain its
enormous customer data base while charging premium online rates? Darla
does use AOL reported tapped ISP but then who's using who, oh mercy?

Darla posts an AOL email address, but she is actually using AT&T
Worldnet to access Usenet.

nightbat Double-A,and Twitty I want to thank you all for helping,but
I'm a computer dummy. I know how computers work,but this laptop is not
friendly. Why does AOL keep popping up pages of adds? Why is there no
words like reply and send nest to the discussion posts? Why does the
typewriter have to be right up to the screen? It should be portable
like now I'm typing,and sitting 7 feet from the screen.I can stand up
walk around and still click into where I want to go. Seems those in
groups that did not like me and called me a webby were right. I am a web
guy,and a happy one . Go figure Bert
