A common sense guide to buying a computer. Netpliance i-Opener Internet PC By Andy Walker Cyberwalker Media Syndicate Small business owners work long hours, especially in the early years, but that doesn't mean the cottage has to be off limits. It just means you have to outfit your hideaway with the amenities of the city office. What's dramatic about the i-opener is that it comes out of the box ready to plug into a power outlet and a phone line. Canadians are out of luck for now, this device is available for use only in the United States.
Installation is truly a snap.
When you order it, you give Netpliance the phone number and zip code it will dial from. Once out of the box, you are on line in moments. No configuration is necessary. If you later move, you can change the dial-up configuration from a Preferences panel. You can also access any Web site on the Internet through an option bar at the bottom of the screen.
