more than texting, huh?  well, at this point, the least expensive way to get to email and FB and here is gonna' be a laptop, which you should be able to get for under $400. 

the "tablets" might be less expensive, but the options are so variable, either you'd need a computer geek to help you choose, or you're just taking pot luck. 

neither the tablets nor an iPad will have an actual keyboard, only the touchscreen thingee for typing -- one finger typing, basicly. 

i'm hearing that most hospitals have wifi now, so any of 'em ought to work for you, in that respect. 

the iPads are neat, i see other people using them, and probably not much more expensive than the low end laptop, but there's just no keyboard -- for me, that'd be a dealbreaker, but it might not bother you.  you want something you'll be able to keep on using after you get home, i'm assuming?  if you have a fairly new PC at home, you might be able to rent a laptop for the time you're away....

Be right back ladies...........

[Mary]

It's your turn Ladyg  :)))

I hadn't thought about renting a laptop, my PC is almost 4 years old....so having a laptop would be good to have after I get home...and I could use the mouse on it too!!  Hmmmm   I will need to think about some more....but no matter what I choose....more then likely it will be a laptop...if I can part with the money...lol....j/k  of course I would b/c in the long run..if anything should happen to PC I would have the laptop to fall back on..and be able to use the keyboard and mouse as well. :)

yes, if your PC is that old, it won't hurt to have the laptop, and too, you can use the laptop anywhere, doesn't have to be sitting at a desk.  PLUS, if you have a good-sized monitor, you can hook that up to the laptop (sitting on a desk, of course) -- that's the setup i have now, since my desktop died last May.  i have my sister's laptop, sitting off to the side, with a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse.  i finally gave in and hooked up the monitor because i couldn't get full screen with characters big enuf to read w/o glasses on the laptop's display!  just endlessly frustrated, so i had to do something different....

[Ladyg]

Well I'm back...............

[lynn]

glad you didn't get lost....

[Mary]

to use and give the PC a rest LOL   :)  I'll keep y'all updated for sure!! :)

[Ladyg]
