Howdy folks My name is Robert and this is my first post.
I am going to be taking a trip this summer, aboard a 50ft sailboat, from Hawaii to Long Beach. I did this run couple years years ago. Best month of my life. During that journey, I shared my journal daily. We used a ham radio based email system called Sailmail to connect with the world. I would write on my tablet everyday and upload once a day. Everyone loved reading about the journey. I want to share it again. Last time, I ran into a couple issues with my Samsung tablet. Battery life wasn't that great, and daylight viewability was awful. If I wanted to write during the day I had to go below deck to do it. This time I want to be able to write anywhere and everywhere. I have a Model 100, and it seems like it could be quite nice for this trip, other than transferring files to the laptop we will be using for Sailmail. I won't likely have access to the laptop before the trip for testing. I don't have a NADSbox. Another option I ran across is an Alphasmart Neo. Not quite as cool, but rugged, USB built in, and I think it is backlit. I think it may have a limitation on the number of files it can store, and I will be creating at least one new file per day. So I come to you, oh knowledgeable ones of the Model T world. What wisdom can you share with this lowly sailor?
