I just got back from a wifi hotspot outside the local library. I was bored and wanted to download new songs (legally, of course ) and a few other things. Being on dialup sucks. My laptop battery sucks so much that I wore it down to 67% in an hour, with the brightness of the screen lowered a bit. It's back to 97% now... (30% charge in like 15 minutes, not bad for using and charging at the same time).
