I can type just fine on my Ipad. I don't carry a laptop anymore because of the Ipad. It has 10 hrs of battery life. I can load an entire season of Mad Men and True Blood on it. Best thing is it doesn't have to come out of the bag for security.

). The only way to reliably access Deltanet and its portals (LMS being one) on a Mac is through Firefox. It's free and works great. However, there has been a problem with version 4 and I don't know if it is fixed yet. I'm still using version 3.6.16.

Lived in Atlanta a long time, it is getting ridiculous, nothing but shootings and car jackings in downtown lately. I hope somebody finds these pieces of **** and does something really bad to them. Don't ride MARTA through downtown, the way things are going lately you are just asking for trouble.

Hi,
Need some tech advice. Haven't bought a laptop in 10 years, or a new phone in almost 4 (Palm Treo). Coming back to the line after years away... Is there a consensus on what is the best computer/phone combination for airline pilot use right now? I don't have a good idea about these netbooks or the iPad.
I see folks posting about droid apps for the schedule, and about trying to do training on various laptops with problems...
-Looking for a system that will let me do Microsoft Outlook with seamless syncing to a phone, I use that for business a ton.
-I'd like a phone that lets me do most of my pilot stuff.
-I'd like a computer that's light, can watch a movie or do CD training stuff for upcoming Delta training, can run Outlook, and can browse web. Maybe read books. Don't need much else, nothing hi-powered I'd think needed.
Any good advice appreciated, need to buy within 2 weeks for training!

Netbooks don't have the screen resolution to run the LMS CD. Need something with a little better resolution. Most netbooks don't have an internal CD drive.

As for the screen resolution, just google your version of windows and what resolution you are seeking, and you will quickly several tutorials explaining how to force the resolution to what you need to run the program.
