Samsung Galaxy Tablet fit our needs

Dust has finally settled after our return this year, went by the Verizon store and picked up a 890L MIFI and so far it works great. We will try it out next week at Stephen C. Foster SP in GA. Currently looking into a Wilson amp and external antenna setup for more marginal signals. The only problem I see so far with the Wilson amp is the clamping wings don't fit the 890L.

I am pretty stupid about all of this except I just bought a new laptop for myself at Walmart for Christmas $179. Has Windows 8 and trying to figure out how to use it. I also bought a new phone which was suppose to be shipped today from republicwireless.com. $19 per month seems like a pretty good deal for unlimited everything. A friend of mine got his a month ago and loves it. I think it will make traveling a lot easier since we are on the road about 4 months per year. Looking forward to figuring it out. I was an engineer at Intel about 30 years ago, but everything I know is out of date. Been able to figure out Windows up through Vista, but Windows 8 is a bit tricky.

Some of the drivers do not seem to work on Windows 8. I plan on checking out the tuner and thanks for the info. I try to keep my ears perked when the kids are talking about the latest and greatest in computers. John

This is where most folks get in trouble. Unlike DSL or cable plans MIFI and cell data plans are way to expensive for streaming.
