Pocket PCs To The Rescue!
Posted by Brad Adrian in "THOUGHT" @ 01:00 AM
If there is a situation more dire and scary than a household with three teenagers that suddenly loses its computer and Internet access, I don't know what it is! When the power supply of my family's PC decided to suddenly die two weeks ago, I would describe my kids' reaction as "concerned." When a quick trip to our local computer supply stores failed to turn up a compatible power supply, their reaction degraded rapidly to "panicked." Finally, when I did locate a power supply online and we found out delivery would take over a week, my kids were practically inconsolable.
What had my kids the most upset was that they couldn't instant message their friends. Luckily their dad just happened to have a few "extra" Pocket PCs laying around the house, complete with WiFi connectivity and foldable keyboards! In no time, they were back online, sitting in their bedrooms and typing furiously. I was their hero.
The funny thing is that I finally fixed the desktop PC several days ago, and they barely seem to have noticed. They've decided to keep using the Pocket PCs for chatting, rather than the PC!
I have won two converts to my world! BWUAAAHHHAAAAAAA! :devilboy:
