sunnyy4 Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 What do you think about this technology? Personally, I think it's somewhat wasteful and unnecessary. You can gimme about $1500 in equipment and I can rig Mira up for you, and here's how: Supply List -Cheapie laptop -Wireless 802.11a/b/g NIC -Wireless Access point compatible w/ above mentioned NIC Setup 1. Enable Remote Desktop on your Desktop 2. Set up your new laptop to connect to network 3. Go anywhere in your house 4. Fire up Remote Desktop on your laptop and set it up to login to your system 5. BOOM!!! YOU'RE DONE! It's so easy... even a monkey can do it! There's no point in buying a $800+ tablet that can't do anything but connect to your system now, is there? Beat that, Microsoft! When a problem arises, you can't just throw more money at it. You have to throw money AND intelligence!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypercube Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Or, alternatively get Sony's tablet pc :) Which was out way before mira:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailgreg Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Yeah, that does work, and I think I will get somthing like that setup for my laptop soon, but those tablets are pretty nice looking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted July 8, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 8, 2002 nah, no tablets for me. I wanna get me a nice lil laptop and i'll be set... chilling in bed with my 802.11B connection and i'm set! The PDA gets emails in my pocket when i'm near my house (and of-course inside too) so that works for that... :) The lappy is just for fulltime browsing when i need to check some neowin in the morning. See.. TIMDORR, see you could save me $1500 if you only hurried up with the mobile version on NeoWin.net :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superrcat Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 There's no point in buying a $800+ tablet that can't do anything but connect to your system now, is there? You're forgetting handwriting recognition. And the ability to just write on the tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathLace Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Originally posted by liferay he could just stop using the word gay as an adjective for something he doesn't like Who cares, waste of time to care of message boards on the net, not worth anyones time. But what he says is a good point about Microsoft, I don't like the idea of all that stuff either, pointless if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but it's another thing to teach someone not to use such childish language online or offline. And yes I do agree with him about Microsoft but I'm sure he could have found another word.

undeRliRcs Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Originally posted by Vlad What, would rather him say homosexual? If he wants to sound like a prejudice bastar* then go ahead. But whenever someone uses the word gay to describe something they don't like, I get ****ed. Also unless you want to sound like an ill-informed 18th century doctor then go ahead and use the term homosexual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
