Today I got my very first pair of prescription sunglasses (pricey but well worth it), and a spare pair of normal glasses for the PC and the guy waiting on us threw in 5 lens cleaning cloths, an extra case, and extra sets of screws when he heard I'd be in West Africa for the next two years.

Went to Sprint, and they said that canceling my contract would be no problem. That was too good to be true, especially for Sprint.

I think that my solar panel set up will now work just fine *knocks on wood*. It's a MyPower All by Tekkeon (they gave me one free!!). It powers and charges my PB 15" laptop and i *think* my solar panel (Sunlinq 12W) charges it. I'll know for sure tomorrow and try to figure out the charging rate.
