Testing – will this “outfit” work for Japan?
The technology do over. For less than $400 I can get a perfectly fine Windows 7 laptop with optical drive. That should take care of my Windows requirement. I’ll get one that runs Ubuntu. For my inner geek.
That will allow me to ditch the tiny Fujitsu and the big Dell box.
My elderly printer/scanner might be an issue. The Airness will not drive the scanner part of the printer/scanner. And, I am not sure that Windows 7 will either. But, Ubuntu 10.4 ran the scanner nicely. And, if all fails – I can get a new printer/scanner.
There will still be money left over for an iPad and a little roll around laptop tray. I can put the printer on a bookcase. That is better than spending over $1,000 on a wood box to stash the old gear in.
I have been “enjoying poor health” today. Think I have an old fashioned cold.
Appropriately floral and understated.
Have fun in Japan. Kevin (younger son) and I are working on beginners iaido. Japan someday would be good – keep us up on the high points of the trip.
A friend visited White Herring Castle in Himeji.

Unfortunately I think it is now having renovation done so not sure how it would be for a visit at present. Worth a look at his pictures though…
Best wishes,
