It is the subject of an insurance claim and a police inquiry, because it was in
the backpack, along with the floppy drive (that I never used anyway), from
which I was "separated". I'm fortunate that the T21 wasn't in the backpack,
which I was carrying to hold some other stuff.

I've bought a ASUS WL330g.

Actually, the ASUS WL330g cam be powered from either the USB port or a power
plug.

You are very loyal.
