Internext Miami - Computer access? - GoFuckYourself.com

wimpy · 08-03-2005, 05:23 PM

Besides the business office in the hotel (65 cents per minute, 10 minute minimum), is there any computer access at the show?

DSL in the room is $10/day. That would be cool except I don't have a laptop.

I'm hoping there is some sponsored access.

They said there is wireless all over the hotel, but if it's anything like the last hotel avn hosts at it won't be worth a shit for speed.

I doubt he will pack his desktop nor lug it around so that really does no good for him.

P.S. enjoy your shared blazing fast 40k connection speed.

He doesn't have a laptop so wireless wouldn't be much help

In the "good old days" sponsors would have banks of computer set up where you could go and check your stats, web based email, etc. I don't THINK I've seen that at the last couple of Internext shows, but I could be wrong.

If worse comes to worse just ask someone at a booth who has one if you can borrow theirs - I did that for years before I carried my laptop with me

Hrmm, I remember back to '99 in NOLA and I didn't see anything like that at shows, but then again I rarely hit the floor. Anyway I missed the part about him not having a laptop, but I am sure many people will have them there and if they can even connect they would be happy to let him borrow one for a few minutes.

Yeah, the computer banks were on the show floors. Traffic Cash had one for years, IIRC.

I bet 1 out of every 2 people will have a laptop. Just ask someone if you can use there's for a couple minutes while you check up on all of your stuff.

I bought my laptop specifically for shows and other trips. You can get a decent one for a relatively good price. I think mine was $1,100.
