[AT] OT - Refurbished computers

[charlie hill]

Good news is about to come your way on internet Ralph.
There is a company called OneWeb that just inked a deal
with a big investor.  They are building a whole constellation
of satellites in a joint venture with Air Bus and it is their intention
to provide affordable internet connectivity via satellite to the entire
planet.  Not sure how long it will take to get it up and running but
it was announced on Fox Business News today.

You'll get used to the small screen on the smart phone but it is extremely
more useful if you have an internet connection so that you can run the phone 
on
wifi as much as possible.  Otherwise it eats up battery and data at an 
amazing rate.

I do everything on this Asus laptop that is just 6 years old. I don't
have a smart phone yet but am going to
be forced into it by July as Sasktel drops support for the old flip
phone I have been using for 9 years. I never
cared for the idea of viewing everything on those little I phone screens
but people seem to to do it.
I did recently buy a Samsung tablet with a pretty big screen, about half
the size of the laptop. I think I could
live with that but so far I have no internet connection for it. I mainly
bought the tablet to use with the drone.
