As a frequent reader of the boards as well as an avid gamer, I'd just like to let everyone know I'm posting using my Nintendo DSi as a test right now. Pretty cool! So if it ever hit the fan and I don't have access to my laptop I can let you all know I'm OK through, of all things, my handheld video game *chuckle*...

Obviously not something you want to stare at for more than 10-15 minutes on a 2.5 inch screen, but it still comes out good and clear. You can use the DS's stylus to scroll through the page...

I use my Dell Axim pocket PC for the same thing when I am on the road or out of town. I go to Mcdonalds or the truck stop and use wi-fi. also good for checking e-mail and bank accounts before biding on e-bay.

I was looking at the ASUS and the Dell micros, and I am considering the HP 2140 micro. It looks like it has the best bang for the buck, and is under two pounds with an 8.9" display. It can be upgraded to a 10.1" display. Base price is $279. It sure beats this 15lb Dell brick I was issued for toting, although the brick is a CAD level machine.

I went with the smaller 9" model, wanted it to be as small as possible but still useable.

Using one of those with a wirless modem to enter this post from an Amtrak train nothbound at 100mph. Ain't technology marvelous?

My plan is to upgrade to a much faster SSD (solid state hardisk)as the one that comes with the unit is pretty slow. Upgrade will cost half as much as the unit did. But it will also take it from 16GB to 64GB.

Has anyone used a hack to enable the WIFI on the DS Lite to browse the 'net?
