Aye, Mr. Talbot.
Thanks for the post.
Yup, a laptop can be had pretty cheap these days...
Hmm, I am a bit torn..I have the space at the nav table for the fax demodulator and the small printer without making any big mods.
It wil still be tidy and clean..(And old-fashioned..
)
With a laptop however, I am looking at 5 times the money and twice the space...Don't have the space for a permanent installation and don't wan't to plug in and un plug anything just to get a fax up and running.
Don't have the money either...Been un-employed for a year and all the boat funds are dried up.
Here in the colonies we go from feast to famon and back in a hurry.
The first 5 years I owned this old boat, I spent $40 000 fixing her up.....Then I lost my job....Twice...Now down to sand paper and oil-changes for maintenance.
The budget is pretty slim, no lap-top, but maybe a used printer if I don't tell the wife.....$50.00 max...The de-modulator was free remember?
So, uh what is a guy to do?
Strange day today:
Got 2 job offers:
Deck hand on a 265 feet research ship locally, and / or captain on a B-747 airliner based in Europe.
The money is 4 times as much for the flying job, but hey, money ain't everything...Although I could buy a fancy lap top if I go fly..
Confused in Florida
