Dylan, wish my home was a Freespot! Patrick, found out the all subway stations are Hotspots and have signed up. will try it soon. Tae, hisashiburi! I can just use the CD/DVD drive on my other PC by sharing it out when I need to install something. I don't watch DVDs on my laptop so I can live without an optical drive. How do you like the W5? Derek, Cool thanks for the link.

I considered getting a Macbook too but it was too heavy for me. (Might as well get a desktop) I didn't get the R5 because there was no dvd drive. Don't you think it's a pain to have to buy an attachement just to install stuff from cd/dvd? The only thing I hat is that it didn't come with drivers so that I could install Win 2000. I hate XP.

Opposite Fuji Bldg. I think they do and it's a nice place too! Doesn’t the Maranouchi cafe in Tokyo area have those free hotspots? Opposite Fuji Bldg. I think they do and it’s a nice place too!

My brother has been using one in Aomori continually for the last year for his home connection. Saved him heaps in internet costs! Freespots rock!

Although it would have to be a short one cause the Ginza line isn't 2 hours long Robbie, hmm... Michael, excellent! didn't know they have wireless there. Abraxis, if Apple was a Japanese company there would be tons of small macs. I still though the 12" PB was too heavy for it's size. Even the Thinkpad X40 wasn't that heavy. Ira, thanks will check it out next time I've in Singapore. AC, the guy was probably watching a movie. Although it would have to be a short one cause the Ginza line isn’t 2 hours long

Mostly they come small. I wish Apple would make a 12" Macbook. The 12" form factor rocked! I had a 12" Powerbook G4 for a few years. The size was great.
