Today I went to the Pyramids in Egypt, the Coliseum in Rome, and the Forbidden City, not to mention the coast of Antarctica, the Cape of Good Hope, the Dead Sea, Washington, Manhattan, and a few remote observatories.
Yes, I installed Google Earth, and I'm impressed. The computer has mostly been behaving itself today, once we got past the chicken-dance necessary to boot it up, but it looks as though putting it in the under-desk hutch won't work for the wireless. The previous desktop had an external USB wireless adapter that sat somewhere around the desk, and that worked fine, mostly, but this one has the wireless built in with the antenna low down on the back of the case.
Tomorrow I'm off again for real, for a conference in Boulder. What to pack is a bit of a puzzle; it looks as though it should be considerably cooler than it has been here, almost out the other side of pretty tops and skirts and into long-pants territory. ( Cut for sartorial ruminations. )
