Had things worked out the way I thought they might, I'd have had a laptop for my birthday, last week. But when my partner learned it would be a Compaq XP, and that he'd have to lay out all the money for new software, he put the skids on it; he won't purchase anything that isn't an Apple product, so, unfortunately, I will not have a laptop to use. Too bad - Laughlin's a wireless zone, too! It would have been nice to update all of you daily.
The Hotel has a computer room, but they charge a dollar a minute and limit each user to 15-minute blocks of time. Last time I was 17th on the list for a 15-minute block to check my e-mail, and everytime they called me, I wasn't in my room, so I kept losing my spot in the line-up. (I was always at the conference meetings during the day.) It was less aggravating to just call home and get my partner to look through the e-mail for me. ___
