NEW TOY FOR ZEN

Multiple “meat space” projects and family activities have partially pulled me offline the last few days. Getting this HP and trying it out was one of them. The wireless connection speed is fantastic! Originally, Mrs. Zenpundit had to talk me in to it as our house has no shortage of available PCs, including a brand new Mac, but this laptop is already proving to be quite handy.

Someday, I may even liveblog an event on location. :o)

    Thanks! My wife drags me into the 21st century, at least for hardware.

    How’s ARES going? You redid the whole format the other day.

    You should liveblog the upcoming Boyd seminar. That would be awesome.

    It is shiny indeed. I admire the distressed chrome-like finish even as I lightly tap the keyboard.

    Re; Liveblogging Boyd, that’s possible. It will depend on a) Any rules of the facility (Quantico) b) Wifi availability and c) the client workload for Mrs. Z. at that time – if deadlines loom for her that will put thousands of
    dollars in my checking account, well, I can blog it later that evening ;o)

    Re; Specs

    Not sure what options Mrs. Z. picked as I was carefully weighing Xbox360 games at the time of purchase….
