So I've arrived in NYC, and I'm sitting at Starbucks, but I'm not using their WiFi. I'm using my Pre. I've failed to get the WiFi tethering to work yet, but the USB tethering works without a hitch on my Ubuntu 9.04 system. Pretty rad. I'm sure I'll figure out the WiFi thing sooner or later, but it's good to be online. I figure that I can use some of my time before the store opens to work on the WiFi, as well as on getting the function keys on this Toshiba working under Ubuntu. Stupid windows-centric world.
More updates on the trip etc, coming later. Pictures, too, esp. since I didn't forget my camera as I thought I did.
