Another Reason

It's not like I used to take my iBook around the apartment in New Jersey all that much. Every now and then I would bring it into the living room and watch television whilst browsing the Internet, and occasionally I would sit on my bed, 'Book on my lap, writing at night.

But now that I'm using dial-up, I have to wait to use my wireless router again. And the fact that now I can't take the iBook out of this room, even if I didn't want to, bothers the hell out of me. I think I actually hear the AirPort card crying out from under the keyboard, "Please! Use me! I will allow you to browse the Internet from anywhere in the house!" Something about the router sitting on my desk waiting to be used feels very trapping. It feels like this laptop is nailed to this desk, and I'll never free it from its place.

Granted, the minute I get wireless back up and running next week, the iBook will still be sitting on its stand on the desk. But at least I could take it with me into the bathroom if I felt like it.
