I just got back from NC a few days ago. :-) 

Good luck with cell phone service up there while you are at it. I was in the 
Smokey Mountains and Verizon kept crapping out on me on every corner. 
Everytime it happened, their slogan popped into my head.... "Verizon, it's 
the network". 

I was also battling with a blackberry - trying to go on irc -- it didn't work, 
but at least I was able to access the WWW via Opera Mobile -- it wasn't 
*that* bad.

I know what it is like to have technology just not work with you when you need 
to travel. 

Good luck, and try IE7 over wine (i know - i know), but if FF isn't working (I 
suppose that Konqueror, Opera, and Epiphany are giving the same headaches?).

IE7 at least has tabs. (compared to IE6)

BTW: the weather there is gorgeous -- but it is just as nice here. 
Beach weather all weekend so far ;-)
