Occasionally there are cross posts that are very educational. For
example, with this thread I didn't realize there was a newsgroup
devoted to
truckers. When I picture a trucker I picture someone not familiar with
the Internet or specifically, Usenet. Now I know better.

FYI, I'm an over the road driver, somewhere in -any- of the Lower 48,
28
days a month or more.

I have about 20,000 posts /10 yrs on Usenet (primarily in Rec.scuba),
and
I have broadband PCS in the truck.

As a wildly unsupportable guess, I'd say about 40% of OTR drivers have
a
notebook in the truck.

Can they actually use them? Or is it, like, (waving a notebook out the
window): "hey gal, want a ride?"...

Uh...,I dunno.

Is -this- the best you can do with yours?

I don't, but I guess to a trucker it would make some practical sense? At
least it could keep you guys awake.
