Technote: Eee pc plus iPhone combo beats Powerbook 12″ for this UK trip
I’ve left the mac at home. Two reasons - weight and battery life. I only have about anhour of juice left the the Powerbook battery these days and it just didn’t seem worth bringing that at the portable hard drive on this trip. Internet access in the UK will be via a ‘3′ USB stick which I have bought on my parents’ behalf.
I will resurrect my old desktop system for them so they can start to use Skype to conference with my sister and I across the UK, Greece and NZ. I’m pretty sure the old pentium system can handle it, but there is an element of doubt. Last time I had it running it was on Windows 98. I’m hoping that XP Home edition won’t be beyond its reach.
