That case was purchased shortly after the liquid bomber scare. European flights were requiring all luggage to be checked. I like red but I also wanted something that was bright and would stand out. I also purchased 2 bright "construction cone orange" pelican cases for the camera and kit. In all the years of flying, I've never once found any airport where the baggage claim was checked against the claim check issued at check-in. I figured the bright colors would make it easier to spot in the airport if the bags started moving without having me in tow. ;) -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG All your spirit rack abuses, come to haunt you back by day.

To be frank (not THAT Frank), maybe he should build that little extra expense into his fee(s) that he charges to whomever he provides the services?

I was staying at a Doubletree in Minneapolis this past weekend, and had my iPad with me and no laptop. The hotel had free WiFi in the lobby and wired ethernet in the room. Since I had only the iPad, which does not have an ethernet port, I couldn't use my iPad in my room, but had to go to the lobby to connect to the internet. So I take it that if I had had an Airport Express, I could have plugged it into the room ethernet and used the iPad in my room? Correct? Does the Airport Express need any configuration or setup in that scenario, or does it work out-of-the box when you plug it in? Thanks. -- Jim Gibson |
