as i said, most laptops made in the past 10 years and certainly the
last 5 years have 5 ghz 802.11n (possibly 802.11ac).

Not mine, certainly.

So, will you be generous? :-)

Not mine either. It's an acer made 6 years ago.

Maybe he'll buy us new laptops?

I got one of these but it only works with British music.

!?!?!?!?!?!?

I learned you have to buy an international bluetooth dongle to play
music (and news) from other continents.

You must have bought the Right Hand Drive version, if you put it in one
of these 180 degree adapters it'll be fine :-)

Don't you think it's mean to get our hopes up by posting this!?

I thought "Finally! This is EXACTLY what I need for my upcoming trip
down-under!", but the website says "This item does not ship to
Netherlands."!

So now I'll have to put my whole laptop upside-down when I'm in Oz,
which will make it very akward to use! Bummer!

You will also be upside down, so no problem there, as long as you get
spare selfgrip solesâ„¢

Yes, that will fix it.

Just use a mirror. A real glass mirror.

Whatever you do, don't drop anything in Australia, or it will fly off
into space.

Good luck with that.


What, nospam said something I agree with? That's a first!

And yes, I know that when usage gravitates toward something that is
incorrect, the error becomes established after a while. That's part of
the nature of the history of all languages. There are many such
example in English. But I'm an old fuddy-duddy, and I object to such
changes. I know that sooner or later, I'm going to lose on almost all
such issues, but that doesn't mean I have to like them.

The trouble with what he said, above, is that he's using an adverbial
clause as the subject of a sentence. Adverbs should be used to modify
verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, not as nouns. There are two ways
to say it correctly:

That people call it a modem doesn't make it a modem.

It isn't a modem just because people call it a modem,

Using it the way he does, which is commonplace but incorrect, is
equivalent to using the word modem for things which are not modems, also
commonplace but incorrect.
