Remote Notebook Users
Question:
I’m hoping some of you could possibly help me out. I’m writing a piece for PCWorld magazine about people’s unusual uses of notebook computers. Right now I’m looking for people who use their computers in remote locations(i.e. in the middle of the jungle, forest, outback) working them off some auxiliary power source. If you are this person, or know of anybody who would fit this description or an extrapolation of this, please let me know. Email me Thanks David Spark PCWorld

hard drives.The former is interesting, ’cause from what I know about hard drives, the heads are supposed to be liable to crash (as experienced by several USAF projects, who were forced to place their hard drives in pressurised compartments). By the way, backpackers are desperate for a decent PDA/digital camera; any hope?

Hi ! I am a Canadian Buddhist Monk living in Cambodia. I am also the General Secretary of a charitable organization helping build schools for monks and taking care of orphaned childrent. My work is asking me to travel from Phnom Penh where telephone is available to so remote places that even birds do not fly there. For now few months, I use a note book to write my E-mail, keep in contact with the world, inform people about Cambodia as well as trying to generate "concern" about the plight of children in Cambodia. I use my lap top computer in many different environment and situation where normal note book never travel to. Also a note book in the hand of a Buddhist monk seems to be odd to many who think that a monk should be OUT of this society and meditate in the jungle not taking care of the suffering of this world. I am not yet completely independent in my communication. I do not have the means of having a hand phone and plug my lap top on it in a James Bond manner but I think that you are unlikely to meet any monks in Asia who work and try to help using notebook. If you like to know more about my experience, if you like to write something DIFFERENT then contact me anytime at my e-mail address V
