Just in case anyone is interested so far the iPad is working quite well as a laptop replacement for email and websurfing work while on the road. My goal on this trip is to try to use the iPad for almost all of my tasks and so far the laptop has only come out of my bag once and that was to do some audio editing. I'm even finding the onscreen keyboard very usable for typing. Amzingly pretty much doing fast touch-typing on it.

So, my laptop at home has stopped recognizing the ".exe" string. Everytime I try to double click on a program, it asks me for what program to associate with that file. Any idea how to fix?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Which laptop? If it's the older, crappy one, then it's time to take it back to the school and have it re-imaged.

Nope, the newer one.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Have you run a virus scan?

Yep, I've run AVG and Malware Bytes. And Windows, I think.

Can anyone explain why my iPhone is suddenly refusing to believe there is signal anywhere? Places I'm quite certain there is signal?

try restarting your phone.

Yah, that was the first thing I tried, it didn't work. Phone seems to occasionally believe there is old school signal? But never 3g.

I think you should bring this into the apple store.
