Not too handy in the pocket or handbag though is it?

MG I have a dell mini 10, which fits nicely in to a large handbag (alongside my notes when I'm out shopping), certainly works for me, tend to check my emails whenever I park near somewhere with free wifi - McD's is a favourite as their wifi signal is quite strong even away from the building. :A

Or pop in to somewhere like a coffee shop/pub which has it for a drink while I'm out. :beer:

Still keep missing the GR jobs though, wonder if its the same shopper getting to them before both of us? (I seem to remember you're a bit south of my 'patch').

I have a big handbag too and it fits in perfectly!!

Like Scubaangel, I use the free Wi-fi in MacD, Pret a Manger, Starbucks etc. I quite often finish my jobs for the day and then go for a coffee in MacD's to do my reports, (1) 'Cos there's no distractions like there are at home and (2) It keeps the MacD staff on their toes, I always make sure there is a sheet of paper with the "Gapbuster" logo on it poking out from under my notes!!!!

One thing I did find though TG, one of the McD's on a local retail park seems to have gaps website blocked, I can access every other site but not gap and have tried a couple of times, but can access it from other wifi spots.

Thanks for the iphone info. Going to get one now. The rude name was said in jest. I'm only jealous of whoever it is who is getting all the GR jobs in my area within a minute of them getting posted.

If you're not in any rush to get an iPhone, I'd hold out til June/July. We're expecting a new model so it's not always best to tie yourself down in a contract just yet. Also the price of the old models will then go down too.

Oh no, I can't wait 6 months. Am missing too many assignments as it is. Will just get one now I think.

Haha ok, well at least wait until tomorrow to see what they announce tonight. You could be on the cutting edge of technology!

Can anyone actually see their RE money in the bank yet? Just checked mine and its not in yet and I'm sure its usually showing but not 'fully' credited by now - or am I just being jumpy because of gap's hopeless customer service?
