New Wireless Tricks
I don't know about you, but I get all geeked-out when I discover a new tip or trick.
One reason why I love hearing from my readers.
For example, this comes courtesy of Hawkfan.
Some wireless carriers let you check email from any phone.
For example, Hawkfan has configured his Nextel cell phone to check messages in Outlook as well as on AOL (and it works with any POP account).
To get this up and running, however, you'll need to jump through two hoops -- as well as fiddle with some system tweaks.
Provided you have an "always on" Web connection, call your ISP and see if the service is available.
If it is, check for fees, though most offer it at no charge.
Next, call your cellular provider and turn on the service.
Fees vary with provider.
For example, it adds $10 to a regular Nextel Rate Plan.
Kewl, huh?
Do you have some mobile computing advice to share or have a question?
You can Write to Dennis!.
Include your first initial and last name and put the word MOBILE in the subject.
I'll try to use your contribution in a future column.

If you have to travel like I do, then you KNOW what a pain computing on the road can be.

If your traveling is for pleasure and you plan to take a laptop, then you STILL know what a pain computing on the road can be.
Either way, I hope these ideas help.
Oh, if you get home before I do, please leave a light in the window and the latch-string out.
