This really is a life changing laptop and every one of you should own one. Immediately.

Make it so.

Live from 28a

I’m on board Virgin Atlantic flight 46 to London Heathrow, it takes off in 35 minutes. Well, when I say take off I mean  trundle down to join the queue to depart – if you know New York you’ll know that getting any flight out of here to take off within  90 minutes of its departure time of an evening is about as likely as getting a mortgage right now.

What makes this moment quite good is that I’m typing this on a brand spanking new Asus EE PC 901, using a cellular card thingy to be on the interweb. A few moments ago, over a shrimp salad I engaged in a video conversation with a clever clever man. And it all worked very well indeed.

What makes this remarkable is that I was completely convinced I’d need the new aluminium MacBook – but I’ve ended up spending 1/3 of the money for something infinitely more ‘right’ for who I am and what I do. Namely someone who writes a lot, surfs a lot and travels alot.

This little powerhorse makes me want to review it like Jeremy Clarkson would talk up a BMW (would he? I have  no bloody idea).

It’s fast, shiny and beautiful, much like this 747 I’m sitting on right now.

Help – can’t get Radio 4 on the Asus.

Is there any reason on God’s sweet earth why I cannot receive BBC Radio 4 on my Asus AIR Internet Radio? I’m in NYC. I’ve tried the firmware (matron) as well as manually popping in the wma address. I know this is not a tech-forum, but help me and name your price.
