Some people just don’t get it: you have to provide a name for your PC in Windows in order to join a network. Yes, I’ve taken some ribbing from these short-sighted folks that apparently don’t understand how Windows works, but I’ve just been redeemed by Jenneth over at GearDiary. She introduces us to "Artie", her Asus R2HV and goes one step further than me: she takes Artie out for Thai food!
Seriously, Jenneth "gets" the whole UMPC experience and I can tell by this quote: "I’m not saying that Artie has replaced my laptop, but he is coming along with me to places that I would never bring the MacBook." UMPCs are companion devices and in most cases, won’t replace a laptop so kudos to Jenneth for understanding the concept; I can’t wait to see more of her thoughts on the portable platform! So what names have you given your PC or UMPC?
