So I don't have to pay a monthly fee for nothing? Just watch my free T-Mobile usage and try to use free Wi-Fi and my Wi-Fi at my house?

 

[Dryden-Tdub]

Correct.

Could you post the like for this one again please? I may have to bite the bullet and replace my 12 year old laptop... Can this one run Ubuntu (sp?) as well?

 

[ZDR1]

Set my Wi-Fi up today and can set on the patio and drink my coffee, when fully charged it is good for 9 hours.

I bought the same one Z and could not be more satisfied with it. It is so simple to use and navigate through I am very surprised I waited so long with these boat anchor MS Windows based units. As Dryden said, I bought the refurbished one and can't honestly see where it was ever used at all. With Tom here to guide us it is a no brainer for us older guys who don't care to learn Geek.

Gary I have found with this mouse pad when you get the arrow over what you want to click on push down on the pad the switch is built into it you will feel it click, and when I scroll this site I use the arrows on the lower right.

Z. You can also use two fingers to scroll up and down. Two finger swipe too the left will take you back a page and two finger swipe right will bring you forward a page. Tap on the mouse pad with one finger equals a left click. two fingers tap on the mouse pad equals a right click.

I have been divorced for sometime now so my fingering is not as good as it was in High school! I will keep practicing.

 

[Dryden-Tdub]

Just put both fingers on the mousepad at the same time and drag them around a bit.

Can't get it set up until I bring the CB to a place with cell signal and try then. Will let you know and hope to take a ride this week and give it a go.
