Yes, I have not one, not two, but THREE laptops in my hotel room. Why?
Front and center is my personal computer, my Macbook Pro that I got a few months ago. I couldn’t imagine going without it.
The Dell on the right is my work computer that I brought with me. But there’s a problem- it’s basically useless right now. It’s configured so that the wireless card is only enabled when it’s not connected to a LAN. Except I’m not connected to a LAN in my hotel room and the wireless card isn’t working. Until I move out of the hotel and into the other lodging arrangement that has a LAN, I can’t check my work e-mail (encryption issues).
The Dell on the left? Guess what they didn’t tell us- every student would be issued a computer for the course! Unfortunately, while the wireless card does work in that one, it’s configured to only recognize the router at the schoolhouse or to work on a LAN. So just like my work computer, it’s useless in my hotel room.
Just another reason why I can’t wait to get out of this hotel and into better housing arrangements for the remainder of my time here…
