Howdy, XPC!
Just recently discovered your boards while looking for solutions to some problems, and I LIKE it! Great job you're doing here, thanks!
First, I'll describe my situation out here, so you'll understand why I'd like to see a new forum category.
I'm an over the road trucker, and believe it or not, this industry is going high tech in a big way. Most of us out here carry laptops now, both for business and personal use, and with the advent of WiFi technology, many of our truck stops are now 'hot spots'.
Having a bit more computer savvy than most of my fellow drivers, I'm finding myself trying to answer technical questions about mobile networking in general, and often machine specific problems as well. Not to mention having to deal with a few of my own.:wtf:
That said, I'd like to see a category specifically dealing with mobile computer issues, hopefully so a few people who know more than I do will start posting some useful information.
The technologies being used out here on the road are mostly WiFi, Cellular phone/data connections, Ethernet/USB connections in some truck stops, and the occasional satellite connection. Any discussion of tips, tricks, problems, etc., would be wonderful.
Thank you for your time, and I think I'm gonna like this place!:wave:
