in behind-the-scenes, photos
I found this photo is Andrea’s stash of RWMF photos. I know someone who will be interested in it.
That’s me in the press room, working on an article on the Alphasmart Dana Wireless. I don’t really need the PCs when I’m not emailing, so I stayed out of the way and pecked away in the corner until I’m ready to send it off.
Why don’t I use the wireless to email? Battery issues. I was running it on AA batteries (it’s supposed to run on its own battery pack, which didn’t make the transition when a couple of Alphasmarts travelled over to Kuching from our friend in KL. Fresh AA batteries + connection to the internet = dead batteries in 5 minutes.
Ahhh! Ducky is not getting a chance to type! Looks handy; lighter, less expensive, smaller. Pretty tasty.
*squeal*
Thanks!
Oh, btw, I didn’t get round to mailing you the rechargeable last Saturday as I said I would. I was running late and well … sorwee.
BTW, did you not get the charger with it? I might have a spare one around somewhere.
Chet: No, the only things that came with the Dana were the manuals and CDs. Is the charger supposed to go with the battery pack?
You can recharge via USB, too. That’s what I do with mine.
chet: Charging with the USB is fine with me. My computer’s always on when I’m home. :-)
