Jim's Opus

I Decided to start off my trucking career up here with Schneider National Transportation Carriers based out of Guelph Ontario Canada. I was hired Monday Feb. 4th 2 days after being licensed. The people at head office in Green Bay Wi. have to do all the paper work and make arrangements for hotel accommadations in Guelph so It wont be until the beginning of March 2007 that I will start their advanced training. I'm searching for a reasonably priced Laptop (probably used) between $400-500. I'm thinking that I will go with the AirCard that Sierra Offers through my current cell/home phone provider. Anyone use an actual Desktop in the sleeper? I was wondering if a got AC converters in the sleeper if I could just use that instead of a laptop/notebook. I picked up a 13" Tv at a buy/sell place. I noticed Schneider's tractors have a satellite dish for the QualComm network. I wonder if I can some how use that dish for regular internet access. What I want is to be able to communicate on MSN instant messaging and browse the internet, chat and upload pictures etc. while on the road. Ok, if any of you want to share how you all connect to the internet while on the road, by all means post here! All for now...
