DualCor just released this
cPC FAQ on their site.
I have had a rough copy since May 18, but I didnβt post it because
I was asked not to. The one thing that has stopped bothering me
about the cPC is that it doesnβt come with an out-of-the-box
wireless network solution. After ordering and then cancelling the
Sony UX 180P MicroPC because being locked in to Cingular was a
personal deal-breaker, I can actually understand the benefit of
being able to choose. But I do still wish that BT and WiFi
could have been included β at least as an option. If I actually get
a DualCor, I will probably use a modem like this one by
Enfora β unless someone knows of an even more compact model

Iβm trying out the new PDA
Mill game called Xplodus. According to
their site, βXplodus is a classic action title
for those who yearn for solid arcade gaming and like
mindlessly blowing things up! Aliens are attacking, you know the
drill, and the only available soldier left is Private Pete
from the reserves. Take control of Private Pete and help him
eliminate the aliens with the power of massive explosives⦠before
he accidentally blows himself up!β
It looks like this game takes the character Pete from Plumbing
Frenzy and cranks things up a notch or ten. Iβm
game!

In other newsβ¦
This weekend we head to Houston for another 6-monthβs checkup at
MD Anderson. Keep your fingers crossed β Steve is at βalmost four years
and countingβ cancer-free.

On July 5, Iβll be traveling to Arlington to attend Sigma Kappa Sororityβs National
Convention and to accept the
Colby Award. Iβve known that I was going to be the recipient
for several months, but in all honesty it is still only sinking in.
This award is a really big deal to me, as itβs βthe
highest honor bestowed upon alumnae members by the national
organization.β Previous recipients include scientists,
educators, athletes, authors, volunteers, artists,
politiciansβ¦even an astronaut, and nowβ¦meβ¦an online
consumer product reviewer. I bet you can just imagine my big cheesy
grin.
I confess that I keep thinking that Iβll get an email or a phone
call saying βerrrrβ¦.there has been a bit of a mistake.β Iβve even
had a bad dream about it; parts of which involved the scary
βprofessionalβ headshot I submitted (sporting the previously
mentioned big cheesy grin) sprouting devil horns and fangs. Kinda
like thisβ¦
Yah, looks just like me, right?
Donβt answer that!
Anywayβ¦
We have also booked a late July trip to the San Francisco area. Weβll enjoy
a couple of days touring the city, and then weβll rent a car to hit
the coastal towns β including whatever sites and parks strike our
fancy on the way to San Simeon and Hearst Castle.
I sure hope that Iβll have a new ultraportable PC by thenβ¦but
which one?
