It was bound to happen. Don\u2019t ever praise one piece of electronics at the expense of the other. No sooner did I sing the praises of the IBM T42P computer did it crash and burn. Ironically in this <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/voip\/the-tv-broke.html\">post<\/a> I mentioned that my TV broke. Well that is kind of an exaggeration as it still works but just shuts off on its own.<\/p>\n<p>I explained why it is great that my IBM laptop does double-duty as a DVD player. Big mistake. Today it crashed. <\/p>\n<p>Well it didn\u2019t crash \u2013 it just shuts off on its own. This is really weird. Did my TV put a curse on the laptop while I slept?<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t make a backup of my presentation for <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/voip\/speaking-in-seattle-next-week.html\">Tuesday\u2019s keynote<\/a> and was afraid I might have to rewrite it from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily when I spoke in <place w:st=\"on\"><city w:st=\"on\">Orlando<\/city><\/place> a few people asked me for the presentation so I put it on my blog. My blog rescued me.<\/p>\n<p>I will spend time today and tomorrow updating it.<\/p>\n<p>Now the house is one laptop short. What did we do before we had laptops? I can\u2019t recall.<\/p>\n<p>I spent part of the day souping up my wife\u2019s computer with software I\u2019ll need while traveling. When it comes to technology, you ALWAYS need a spare. That is one of the reasons VoIP is going to make for better communications as it allows for really inexpensive redundant systems.<\/p>\n<p>Well back to work. I have lots more software to add to this laptop before I get on the plane tomorrow.<br \/><br style=\"mso-special-character: line-break\" \/><br style=\"mso-special-character: line-break\" \/><\/p>\n<p \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sure enough.
