It’s not even 7am on a Saturday morning, and I’m awake! What’s wrong with this picture? Actually nothing, I’m on my way to the airport to travel to Sedona, AZ for my first (REAL) vacation in probably 6-7yrs. WOW! I’m taking MiniMe (Fujitsu Lifebook 2110) with me of course, but don’t look for many (if
