New Hardware

This year I'm bringing new hardware to play with at Lotusphere. I've got a new Dell Axim X51v to browse the net and check messages while in session, I've got a Linksys WTR54GS travel router so I can have wireless in my room (this thing is cool, fits in the palm of your hand and has its own little travel case), I've also got a dinky little cheap digital camera that BellSouth was giving away as a promotional item.... I've played around with it but it's really not up to use as a replacement for my digital camera... but it will work as a web cam. I've downloaded software and I'll see if I've got any kind of view from my hotel room window in the Dolphin. I've had a great view 2 out of the past 3 years ... but last year my room looked out on the roof of the lobby. We'll see.

I've also got a mini-cooler that plugs into the cigarette lighter attachment in the car (or the wall) to keep a few beverages cold... it's not very big but it should work for the trip down at least.
