We've picked up a new MSI Wind mini PC, it's small and white (a bit like an albino pygmy I suppose), and seems to work pretty well. I'm having a bit of trouble with the keyboard but I'll get used to it, I also expect Kathryn will do most of the typing and emailing and stuff while we're away because keeping in touch isn't something I'm driven to do when I'm on holiday, I'd rather forget that places like ""Somerville" or even "Australia" even exist. But I guess it'll help me with the plane trips, I'll load up some decent games and that'll help me keep my mind off the fact that Jetstar doesn't serve food. Too bad I can't cook up a batch of two minute noodles while I'm on there, though maybe I could try rigging up a quick heating element with my Ipod battery and one of those old water boiling elements you probably can't get anymore.
Anyway, I have to get back to installing Skype and Picasa and whatever else Kathryn needs on this new laptop, it even has a webcam which isn't something I'm too fussed on either, I'll show you an example of why in another post some time, they they do tell me it's a great way to make new friends and see bits of people you would never ever see if it wasn't for the wonders of the internet.
