Using laptop for internet overseas?
I have a laptop that has NOT been set up for wireless internet yet. Can I take it overseas (I live in California, will be traveling to France and Spain) and have access to internet? Is there anything I will need to do to set it up before I leave? Will I be able to access the internet in Europe if I've never accessed the internet here? Guide me! I am very technology-challenged! If the hotels provide wireless access, what will I need to do to access it through my laptop? Do I need to take anything aside from the laptop itself?

Answer 1 :
You shouldn't have any problems connecting wirelessly. The wireless-g/b/draft-n standards are pretty much global. Be aware, you will have to get an adapter to plug in your laptop. They use a different A/C current there. See my source for an example.
Answer 2 :
Well yea before you leave you can go to some place like BestBuy or a local Computer store and see if they can put a wireless cable in your computer. But it might cost a lil bit of money but its probly worth it. And by the way. Before you buy the lil wireless cable thing I would like call the place where you will be staying and than see if they got wireless internet just to make sure that you don't waste your money. Hope I helped! Bye!!

Answer 1 :
Look in the phone book
Answer 2 :
I'm at work right now so I don't have my "Rough Guides to Paris" book..but they do mention that the libraries usually require a small day pass fee. ?Bibliotheque National de France is on the Quai Francois Mauriac in the 13th? There is also a "woman's study" library located in the south of town in china town by the buddist temple..south of Denfert metro..I forget the name.
Answer 3 :
For starters, a library in France is called a "bibliotheque." "Libraries" in France are bookstores. Free wireless in France? Nothing in France is free. In malls, you have to buy slugs to use for access to restroom stalls. Starbucks MIGHT have wireless.
Answer 4 :
You can get free wireless internet (Wi-Fi) in all municipal libraries See map http://equipement.paris.fr/?tid=235,237

Only answer if you have taken a fully functional processor on an aircraft?
Only answer if you have taken a fully functional processor on an aircraft?
I need to fly to Germany and I require my processor instead of my laptop. My processor is fully functional and when I arrive in Germany I will tie into a monitor. Need to be 100% assured that when I check the processor fully functional installed in a steal case that when Xrayed it will be allowed to pass and loaded into the belly of the aircraft. I have highly classifed medical data on refugees and my own personal patients. Under no circumstance can I arrive in Germany to hear that my processor was removed because a security agent saw all the wires, hdd, cables etc. etc. inside and became freaked out and did not load onboard the belly of the aircraft. After 9/11 security and flying as become a real pain in the you know what!! Minddoctor, Paris, France

Answer 1 :
Unfortunately you will not have access to a power plug unless you were flying in first class. You will just have to find an alternative method of entertainment on your flight. However, both carriers will have in-flight movies to watch to pass the time. As far as your airplane type goes: You'll more than likely be on an 767 or 777 with Delta. And from Paris to Moscow an Airbus A340 or a 777 with Air France. That can be found in your reservation in the details. Also if you have the flight numbers, you can go on www.flightaware.com and type those flight numbers in. The site will display the stats on it's ontime performance and it always lists the type of plane. But on either carrier, and either plane, economy seats do not have A/C power plugs for you to use.
Answer 2 :
From New York to Moscow, you will be on a Boeing 767-300 aircraft, for I know because that is the only type of aircraft Delta operates from New York to Moscow. Unfortunately, you will not be able to charge your laptop on the Delta flight. On the Boeing 767-300, the only outlets are in first-class. Sorry...and for the Air France flight, you will not have power to your laptop in economy. Your aircraft will be a Airbus A330.
Answer 3 :
You do need to know what type of plane and exact model number of the planes you'll be on, check with Delta to find out. Air France doesn't appear to offer in seat power ports on any of their planes in economy or Tempo class. Delta does offer in seat power ports on many of their longer range planes in economy class, but on some planes only in the forward economy sections. If the power port is ac power you will not need any special adapters, if it is dc or empower you will need an adapter. Check this website to see what planes offer power ports, I'm sure Delta can tell you what model plane you will be flying on: http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Delta_Airlines/Delta_Airlines_Boeing_767-400_Trans.php
