S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

meara--airport express will work, or you can use something like this if you're using it for your PC and/or your mac. Do you know whether your router is b/g or b/g/n? It could provide a good reason to update to a b/g/n server with wireless printing onboard.

That seems overpowered for me, I think? Would something like this work?

It should! But I'll note that, with 2 wireless computers in the house, and an wireless-enabled phone & kindle, plus guests, it wouldn't be overkill to move to a router than can handle multiple devices on its service more readily.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone travel with a surge protector thingy? A guy here just plugged a two socket one into one of the scarce outlets here. Great idea. I could stand to be charging my phone and my tablet at the same time. Never mind the ipod and the Nook.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yup, I do. I have one that the plug in bit folds down into the body, and then there's two outlets and a usb socket. It is to love.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Not that I travel much, but when I do I carry one of these - I got it after it was recommended here. Very handy!

I have contemplated it, but I don't. I was irked that a year or two ago for Christmas or something, my bosses sent us all surge protectors...but not a nice useful one like that. No USB ports and too big to be super useful.

Isn't there a rule that any corporate presents - especially ones that are given en masse - have to be pretty much useless. Possibly expensive, but definitely useless. And, if at all possible, ugly.
