I have two laptops. A work laptop and a personal laptop. The work laptop is loaded with business apps, VPN, and other stuff I need if I'm on the road. My personal laptop has software that inappropriate for my work laptop; games, blogging software, wardriving software, etc.
If I have to go on an extended trip, I have to make a choice on which laptop to take. In many cases, I take only one. But there have been times when my trip is extended and I want to take both. It is easy to see how I would stop at a Starbucks, and log on with both computers. One to do work on and one to play on. This is a current, real need of a businessman today that has any tech hobbies. With the scope of wifi devices increasing to include PDAs, phones, and eventually GPSrs, watches, automobiles, etc., it is clear that multiple, simultaneous connections are needed now and in the future. Consider the idea of a home network twenty years ago. It was nearly inconceivable due to costs of hardware the state of connectivity. Today, I doubt that many on this list do not have a home network with multiple, simultaneous connections for computers and other devices to the internet. Make a little more sense now? -Michael > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Weber > Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 7:20 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [SOCALWUG] Tmobile Hotspot > > > boys, boys, boys, > Being a computer sociopath myself, I would just like to know > more about > why Sean or anyone needs to up on two laptops at once? > > Kenneth Crudup wrote: > > On Wed, 25 Feb 2004, sean bonner wrote: > > > > > >>Their business model isn't my problem.
