I've been without a Verizon wireless card for some time because the one I originally used on a semi-weekend basis had to be given up to an editor at work for a convention. Convention time has come and gone and where's the f**king card? So, I email the editor I loaned it to requesting it back. Three emails and a couple phone calls later, the editor ignores my requests and essentially goes MIA.
This is irksome. I need that wireless card, dammit. We have another Verizon card but it's a pcmcia one and that doesn't fit in my laptop slot. I know I can just as easily walk several blocks to a cafe w/ my powerbook and get cranking online but it's rainy and cold and I want to surf the web in my pjs in the comfort of my home.
Then I look around and well, I have access to a slew of laptops. I can just take one that works with the pcmcia card and go with that. I install all the software I need on the loaner I plan to use and then it dawns on me, this one doesn't have a built-in video camera. Actually, none of our spare laptops do. *sigh* I can't win.
