Jabbasworld goes wireless

[topgeartom]

well im off to uni in a week so ive gone and got myself a laptop. Nothing amazingly fancy but frankly im still in sheer awe of being able to sit downstairs with no wires and steal my nieghbour's internet connection.

Ive gone for an Acer 5003WLMi with an AMD Turion 64bit processor, 512mb of RAM, an 80gb hardrive and everything else is pretty much boggo apart from a DVD-ROM, DVD-RW combo so i now have a way of watching DVD's ever since my PS2 vandalised itself.

Perhaps THE best thing however, is the fact that with my black XP skin and the toolbars removed from the top of the browser, JW in sublack form looks absolutely bloody amazing.

Its my first ever laptop so im currently on freedom overload!

Please be aware i dont actually want to be a politician, i just enjoy the subject and find the whole political mechanisms quite interesting. Having had a backstage tour around Westminister and parliament itself from a current member of the house of lords, i can certianl say, regardless of how much brown nosing is involved the rewards are bloody worth it.

[gucom]

lol good luck with the studies :D not really my field, although if life lasted forever i'd be interested in it...

i got a laptop for study stuff too, and i remember the awesome feeling too :D and trust me after a while you just cant do without it anymore lol... 1 thing i do wish for my next laptop, a 12-inch one... the current 17inch is a bit on the big side, and especially on the heavy side...

^^^ hahaha

congrats tom, maybe we will see more of you now that your are doing it illegal now ;)

[topgeartom]

LOL, no doubt when im on campus or in my halls and a bit bored i will once again return to the warm, comforting bosom of JW.

On the wireless internet side, the guilt has got to me, i was midway through downloading a 1.5Gb file so thought it was a bit mean completely sapping the poor bloke over the roads internet connection

[TopGearNL]

Good luck Tom :wink:

I started going to university too the past week. Im doing Information Technology and I am going to get a Laptop too pretty soon, probably a Toshiba. Also wireless offcourse :mrgreen:

hahaaa, i dont think i could stand all the lieing and face-to-face bullshitting involved with the job!

@yg60m I was getting download speeds of just ove 100kb/s which i didnt think was too bad from a connection that had apparently little or no signal according to windows. On my wired brodband usually get about 250kb/s.

oh so u bought a wireless laptop for uni huh? Thinking bout taking her to the bathrom to watch porn in there?

[Mattk]

but frankly im still in sheer awe of being able to sit downstairs with no wires and steal my nieghbour's internet connection.

What an idiot. Didn't he bother securing his internet connection? He deserves to be ripped off.

Nice laptop. Mine's a Dell Inspiron 6400, which I bought off the Dell website, just before the battery problems came out. Fortunately, there's nothing wrong with mine.


Thinking bout taking her to the bathrom to watch porn in there?

I'm not sure unis have wireless internet for free. Mine doesn't.

My thoughts entirely, if hes stupid enough not to secure the network then im gonna be in there.

I would have liked a Dell if my budget was bigger, and no my uni only has a wired network thats free. I think some areas on campus might have wi-fi hotspots though.
