And during a week in Florida in mid-March, it was a struggle. Traveling is always going to be harder than being in one place.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s multiple devices to configure such as my iPhone to serve as a hot spot for my laptop. Having them both open in a car and reading the displays in daylight is, well, difficult. My desktop display is consistently veiwable and 23 inches!<\/p>\n<p>After some teeth gnashing, I learned that the iPhone as a hotspot must be open to a certain page if you want your laptop to connect in less than five minutes. Lots of time wasted finding that out.<\/p>\n<p>Internet service can be sporadic. For instance, I needed to send something, but was prevented from doing so in a Verizon Wireless dead zone on a long stretch of I-40 in northern Arizona on a February trip. Ironically, I had a great connection three miles into the Grand Canyon from the South Rim (in a Blizzard no less).<\/p>\n<p>And for someone as keyboard centric as me, typing on a laptop just isn&#8217;t as quick and comfortable as my desktop. Files? I remember to download some and others I forget. I know about products like DropBox, but am too busy to use them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dodgeretort.com\/mobile-phones\/1837\" target=\"_blank\">Article continued
