  If you have abrasions or scratches on your hands, wear gloves before you
start processing salsa..... probably a good idea to wear gloves anyway,
cuts or no cuts. Don't be lazy, go find them or face the fire!

Bev, making salsa verde and hot pepper oil at present :)

Bev, you may be able to set up WiFi for your own home, depending on what
your ISP offers and your computer will take.

My boys use WiFi in their homes and with their laptops. Lots of restaurants
which cater to the noon business crowds are now offering WiFi, as are
hotels. It's probably cheaper for them than the additional phone jacks.

I had a Dell laptop as well as a desktop while I was a Red Cross Chapter
director. I loved it. At home now, I use Mac desktop only. My daughter was
given a Mac laptop by her brothers this year and she loves it.

I have friends who have pc computers and they have to download every new
bell or whistle which comes out: music, video, weather alerts, maps, you
name it. Then they complain about their computers crashing or needing to be
pitched for newer, faster, bigger.  If you are satisfied with basic I'Net
connection, email program, and word processing and don't need to do VOIP,
or the latest, you will find a laptop completely satisfactory.

The new laptops are more memory and ability than your old desktop computer
of, say, three years ago. There really is no comparison any more to a
laptop and a Palm Pilot.

You can use a mouse with your laptop but my children love the TrackPads,
claiming they have better speed. Most laptops can be networked with your
desktop so you can take one with you, on a trip, enter what you want, and
then store it on your desktop.

There are many options with a laptop, including CD drives, networking to
projection equipment (I've sat through many a Emergency Management
course/seminar/meeting with the main material being projected from a
laptop). My nephew and I watched a DVD movie on his laptop one evening.

I never ran out of memory with the Dell I was using and that was about 3
years ago.
