When my family and I take our "road trip" this summer,
I will find it hard not to log on somewhere and see what
you all are up to. I don't see the internet as something
that you need to take a vacation from. You take a vacation
from the things that you have had enough of.
I plan to have the computers packed close to the outside
so I can get to them. When we move to Alaska, we had one
machine packed in the back of our Suburban and we set it
up every place that we stayed that had a phone jack. My
wife kept in touch with all of our friends that had an
interest in our trip. And though our list of interested
friends has shrunk some, our online family has grown.
Even my own biological family is getting into the
online thing and might want progress reports of the
trip.

Hmm, well I love the idea of having a mobile POV-Ray to work with where ever I
may go, problem there is that I have yet to find an affordable (for me) notebook
computer with the power to do so. And that in turn always starts me thinking of
GPS mapping on the road or off. Guess I just don't think of the internet as
being something I want around 24/7 :-) POV-Ray yes, 'net no.

At times I wish I had a notebook computer. All mine are
just desktop or tower machines.

And request a video to go w/ text messages...
Sort of a virtual/visual mail group...

Well, I guess it depends. If you're on a "vacation", it would be nice to perhaps log
on
at the hotel in the evening. Length of trip and all that stuff too.

Although I have a PC Camera and have been tempted to use it for live net
meetings or video email, that's as far as it goes. Only like the idea. I'm no
good at being "in person" and that would be awfully close to the same ;-)
Still, it's not totally out of the question either.

Maybe I should be more detailed. I have to move by August.
The Airforce is sending me to another base. As this will be
a forced move, I don't want to lose touch with friends.

Maybe *I* should be more detailed :-)
If you're on vacation, go ahead, bring a laptop and log on.
If you're just moving, pack it all up and don't bother until you get there and get
situated.

Okeleedoke. Thanks, and sorry for taking up the bandwidth. But when you talked about
his setting up a new web presence, I thought you were saying nathan.kopp.com would
have
to switch servers if Nathan the human physically moved, and this didn't make sense.

Maybe there'd be no one here at all.
There's only been three flame threads here to my
knowledge, and only one in this group. But I don't
read all the groups all the time, and there was that
'Most insulting email' thing that I've only seen
the odd post about over in p.g.
All in all I think we're a very sociable easy going
bunch.
