Jeff, thought you might want to take a look at my downtown QZ office. Am currently downloading Windows 8 on my help desk laptop. It's a bit over 2g -- and my Vz is only 5g.
I started at the rally site using tethering w/my unlimited and that looked good at first - but then it started throttling down from 2.5 hours to 16 as a posted estimate. So I headed for my downtown office.
When I bought this laptop last fall w/Win7 Home installed, was told I could get Win8 for $14.99 from MS. But when I ran the diagnostic prior to download was told I needed Wind8 Pro to keep all my stuff intact - and that would be $40 more. However, just before checkout after I entered my discount code from Fry's -- the priced dropped back to $14.99. So am a happy camper again -- although it looks like I may have to do some driver updates.
Thought you might also be interested in the fact that a McChicken mini meal in Rocklin, CA w/tax is $3.54 whereas in Qz it's only $3.30! Just another benefit of coming to the RV Forum rally here.
Enjoyed breakfast with you and Jim this AM -- and learned a lot about my HD/SD tv. Thanks . . .
