Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 10:44:55 +0900 From: Magician [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 128MB for Libretto 110, is there a way? Paul, I can pull out of a hat a Libretto with 96 MB of RAM, but it will also shrink in size. Magic tricks often cause this side effect. Now we return from the realm of Magic to the wisdom of Toshiba. After Libretto 70, Toshiba made Libretto M3 (Mobile pack III) for NTT DoCoMo wireless division, with 32 + 64 MB RAM. That was the same size as Libretto 20 through 70. After that Toshiba increased the size and decreased RAM to the maximum of 64 MB in Libretto 100 and 110. Logic not understood. You can find out more following the links from here: http://auctionaddict.com/cgi-bin/single.cgi?ID=HAAOHTJ1 Oh, I forgot, it also has the magic Japanese alphabet on the keycaps.

My ISP (Verizon) does not have any access outside their area.

Re: Overseas access and a great deal on a Portege laptop...
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 21:32:15 -0500 From: "Ken Hansen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Overseas access and a great deal on a Portege laptop... Steve, As it turns out, I think I will go for $24 for 10 hours access, additional hours at $3-4/hr. I think I would be hard pressed to use all 10 hours (the wife is coming along...) in the five days, besides, I can justify $24 as a one-time expense - compared to the cost of the trip, it is a bargain. One thing I like to do with vacations is calculate my base burn rate, I take the amount of money I am paying (let's say $1,000), then divide that by the number of hours (call it 96, 4 days), then my burn rate is $10/hr just *being* there (this of course, takes into account the cost of getting there, the cost of eating while there, and all the disposable purchases I make while I am there). My burn rate for this trip is about $25/hr - if I add another $24 to the total expense of the trip, my cost goes up to $25.20/hr... It is easy, the ISP is willing to waive any one-time setup fees, so the total out-of-pocket is $24. BTW, the Bermudian Phone Co. has a surcharge for spending more than 60 minutes on one call... Interesting.

To that you would have to add $9.00/hr for "roaming" charges. If you plan to only check email, you will be hard pressed to use and hour of time in just 5 days, unless you read all you mail on-line.
