ISP Information:
Technically, any computer that features a self-contained screen to allow it to easily be moved around. The first "luggable" portables were as big as a suitcase and had small CRT monitors, then came the with orange gas-plasma screens, and then laptops with LCD screens. Portable computers also usually have their own power source.

Portable Computer - In article , AES/newspost wrote: I'm asking if has anyone on this group has gotten into the Sirius or XM satellite radio systems? The idea of good programming content, available everywhere, car or home, with a transferrable unit that go either place, sounds appealing. Does it really work that way? Are there dual units that will receive either system, assuming you sign up for it? How bad is the ad content on the commercial channels?Sirius has only 200k subs and XM has 1M+ subs. I own and sell XM.Its programming is not bad; some of the channels (mostly the ones inthe 18-15 yo group) are getting pretty commercial which I admit pissesme off if I am paying a sub fee, but I don't listen to those channelsa lot.Technically both sound very close. I have been an audio engineer fornearly five decades and taking the technology into perspective, itsounds pretty good for what it is. It is a great tool for longdrives; I like it around town and at home on weekends. We also sellthe commercial version into restaruants and such. Burger joints likethe 50's channel; breweries like the channel choices and don't reallygive a hoot about the ads when they compare XM's 25 bucks a month toMuzak's 50 or 75. XM does have a very attractive multiple-receiverhome plan; see more at xmradio.com.You buy an XM it works on XM. You buy a Sirius and that what it does.Hope this helps.Regards,Klay Andersonklay@klay.comhttp://www.klay.com1.800.FOR.KLAY
