Solar, wind generators, small gas generators. And if you have ever lived in a third world country, you realize that even with power distribution in place, reliability is very bad. In fact, wireless is ideal for places that may have four or six hours of outages per day, at random times.

EXCEPTIONALLY OFF TOPIC

I'm in the market for a desktop and laptop and am focusing on monitors for the moment. What is the difference, if any, between an LCD and an LED display? Of LCD, LED and flat-screen CRT, which is best for serious use while manipulating photos and highly detailed music graphics?

Please respond by PM so we don't clutter the thread. And thanks in advance.

Mike, One at least of the fixed terminals that Schlumberger is making for G* is solar-powered, I believe, which feed batteries. Plunk it down anywhere and start talking!

Best,

Aloha Aloha...
This may be coming a bit late, but living in Indonesia, I see the anaswer every day...small portable generators. They are very common. Owned by individuals, or jointly owned by multiple families.
You'd be amazed to see how many satellite dishes are located in little "Kompun's " that are miles from any power line.
