Answer 1 :
Write down what you did like a travel diary? You probably wont end up using it much anyway
Answer 2 :
Wireless 3 G. You can normally hire them in the country you visit. I have the Vodacom and it works great.
Answer 3 :
Nothing.. When ever I go away, and have no internet, you start to think: wow.. computers are boring..! but when you get back,you just forget again, and carry on! But no, what I did once, is downloaded a lot of the "Internet" like did a few searches in Google, and downloaded it,so you can pretend to browse it! Like download Yahoo Answers, by the time you get a fraction-way through it.. You'll be back home, connected!! But still. I really don't know otherwise mate. Sorry!!

Electricity converter for USA & Spain
Electricity converter for USA & Spain
I am looking for a good electric converter/transformer (however it is called) for using while in Spain. I need a good one and not just for little electronics like hairdryers, etc...but for laptops. My laptop operates at around 320 watts, so it has to be good enough to take that amount of electricity. The reason I ask is because I have heard that they do not always work for sophisticated electronics like laptops, PS2, etc...Any recommendations on what to look for, brands, etc...? I found a nice one in Staples, but it had a warning not for LAPTOPS. Thanks a lot!! Grego

Answer 1 :
Check your laptop's power supply to see if it's multi-voltage compatible. Most are. If that's the case, what you'll need to find is either a cable that fits a Spanish plug that also plugs into your laptop's transformer (the box in the middle of the power cord) or a plug converter that'll get the right kind of connection off the end of the cord you already have. (This has worked for me moving machines from Australia to the USA and vice versa.)

Answer 1 :
The Private Bay is the biggest torrent trackers site. U need to have bitcomet or utorrent and etc client program in order to download the files. U need to check also what kind of file format it is. Some is Rar files that need to extract, some are avi format. Well, u just need to install K-Lite Mega Codecs, then u should be no problem playing major video file formats on your laptop. http://blog.diyersitzone.net
Answer 2 :
I can watch pretty much any file format on your pc. You just need to get the proper codec so they will play... Some files are in ISO and RAR format which you will need to extract the files before they will play
Answer 3 :
LizzyA, you can download any video and with the proper method or player you can watch them all, check what to do according to the the termination of the file (type or extension actually): 1. .avi: you just said you can watch those in your computer, usually 700 MB for a whole movie. One language and maybe one sub. 2. .rar: your movie is compressed in a bunch of small parts and you need an extracting tool like 7-zip or winrar ( http://www.7-zip.org/download.html or http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm ). After the decompression your movie could be an .avi file or a VIDEO_TS folder containing about 10 files named .BUP, .IFO and :VOB). our movie could be of any size. 3. VIDEO_TS: This is the real DVD movie meaning clear and with menus and maybe more than one language and subs. This can be played with almost any DVD player program that came your laptop or you can download VLC player from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ and it will play it for you. Your movie would be about 4GB in size. 4. .iso: It is an image of the movie meaning is the real deal like VIDEOP_TS but you need to mount it in a virtual drive or burn it to watch it. A free virtual drive is Daemon Tools from http://www.daemon-tools.cc/downloads These are the most common movie files you are going to find. If you are not going to burn those files and you only want english language without subs you should stick to .avi files. Best Regard

Answer 1 :
Normally that shouldnt be the problem because the UK 360 is sold all across Europe and other regions in the world. Apart from that there is only the US 360. Either the proxy that you are using is not right or your 360 system is rejecting your laptop. My solution would be that try a different proxy or you might have to try some one elses laptop. If it still doesnt work then you might have to change your 360
