Not natively. But there are USB ports on laptops, and USB divided/angled keyboards (I've got one both at work and at home). Not quite as nice as the original Mac split keyboard that could be actually opened up to your preferred angle, but that one had, as they say, issues, and wasn't very durab

I got a laptop computer for my son in university. So now I might hear from him on msn. I know it would be cheaper to get a phone but nice to hear from him. I really enjoy receiving lace-chat. A dear friend from Australia got me on to it. Lynn Scott. regards Sue Fergusson Ottawa Ont. Canada so

I've thought about getting a modern laptop (I have a very old one with virtually no memory, it just about runs windows and Wordperfect 5.1 and no colour screen). I use it to take minutes at meetings and for that service it is fine. I haven't been looking recently for a laptop, but would need

Hi again. I'm getting some interesting ideas. Thanks, everyone. However, no one has mentioned inventories. Does anyone keep their bobbin or book inventory on their computer? I've been using a notebook that is easy to carry to lace days and conferences. I need to make bobbin and thread invento

Alice asked - What are some ways to use laptops, which may or may not be related to lace? My hubby and I just completed a 5 week trip to various spots in the U.S. We took lots of photos with the digital camera.

HI Alice and everyone I really like my laptop. I use it when I can't use my main computer (for whatever reason). I can take it to meetings and show 'slides' - I put in a CD, and open Irfanview, and set the slideshow option. I have my lace design software on my laptop, and work on it if there is tim
