Using my laptop in Europe?
I have a Dell Inspiron and I have an ATT wireless card. I'm wondering if it's worth the bother of hauling the thing with me to France. The friend I am staying with does not have a computer. I would really just be using my laptop for looking up sights we might want to see and specific information -- also checking my yahoo mail. Will my air card work there? will there be extra charges for the airtime? I have the international feature on my account because I use my phone in europe. Would I be better off just stopping at an internet cafe when I need information?

Answer 1 :
Take it from me.. I travel a lot. Dragging the extra weight around is not fun. Problem 1: You will have to get a power adapter plug and make sure your charger supports 220volts. Problem 2: I dont think your ATT wireless DATA card will work there and if it does expect to be paying heavily for small mb's of data transfer. You phone for voice calls most likely will work if its GSM triband. Problem 3: Airport security are giving hassels with laptops recently. You risk having it taken away for data checking. If they think you might have something illegal on it. They are doing this more frequently now. So leave it at home.. its better.. Do your research before you leave.. and take a few print outs.. that much easier.

Answer 1 :
hp mini notebook. $200-$300 its mini. Who wouldn't love it? IT has a built in wireless router for traveling and automatic internet connection I love my Kodak easy share v1003. Its down to $100-$150. Amazing quality. 10 Mega pixels You should probably get a prepaid phone and calling cards. Long distance is a bi*** to pay with a Cell phone plan. But If you want a plan go with Verizon, best coverage and god plans. Anything with VIsa or Mastercard is accepted all around the world. Make sure you keep everything close to you so you don't get ripped off. =] Bon Voyage. have a great time.
Answer 2 :
Cellular Phone Company - http://www.rebelfone.com/france_simcards.asp Get a local mobile service even before you leave, with free incoming calls & low rates to call back USA.

Please Fix my Laptop!?
Please Fix my Laptop!?
10 pts Best Answer :) My little brother was playing on my laptop (my mom let him without asking dont..ask) and all of a sudden he started screaming that my laptop was frozen, I turned it off and then turned it on, and then when trying to log back in it says "You have been locked out of your account, please contact your administrator." I have an IMB Thinkpad (not to old lol) and I use Windows XP on it. My uncle installed everything so I don't know the Administrator Password or anything. Please I need it for tomorrow! :) thank you for your help! 10 pts I promise <3 Please Please help! (can't get my uncles help he is in France for 2 weeks and I need it tonight or by tomorrow!)

Answer 1 :
Hi.Aren't little brothers a pain? Start with this site http://search.techrepublic.com.com/search/bios+and+ibm+thinkpad+and+password.html and then try http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=IBM+Thinkpad+bypass+password&spell=1 . Good luck!
Answer 2 :
I'm not sure if this will unlock your account but its worth a try. You won't lose any data. Insert the windows Xp install disc and chose repair. Once it finishes you might be able to access your computer again.
Answer 3 :
Safe Mode Bootup ============= Try this, its easy and will not harm anything Slowly tap the F8 key while the computer is powering up Just after the screen goes blank, the F8 key will point the computer to a menu where safe mode can be selected. Note if you mistakenly tap F8 key again, it will continue through to normal boot Scroll and select last known good configuration. This is stronger than doing a system restore in normal mode. See list.. Wait till the boot has finished before clicking anything. (System restore is the first line of restoration. The second line is last good configuration. The third line is system restore in safe mode. The fourth line is repair from your disk recovery console. The fifth line is a delete partition with clean install).
Answer 4 :
Turn on computer and at the same time keep pressing F8 when the menu opens start in safe mode when the computer start every thing will look ugly don't worry click on start , control panel, user icon and create a new user account and set it as administrator re start computer it will open in the new user you set .
Answer 5 :
The solution is to call you uncle for his password. If not, you have to retrieve the administator password by the XP cd then follow this link http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=305

Answer 1 :
777
Answer 2 :
on the 777s, almost with any major airline, in business/executive/first class, you will have internet access not in coach though on 747s, its a bit complicated. the old 747s don't have internet service but newer 747s do. check on your airline's website for info regarding their aircraft. if their 747 do, its probably for first class only too.
Answer 3 :
it would be the 777
Answer 4 :
The 777 (my favorite aircraft).... The 747 in my opinion is an outdated-screaming metal death trap..
