I have dsl in my new apartment in Sosua, and am thinking of bringing down a laptop. The reasons for a laptop are that I can bring it as carry-on, it's easy to bring back to NY for repairs, and it probably won't need restarting when power shifts over to the planta. I have a Mac at home, mainly because my company is all Mac, but will bring a PC - probably a Dell - because my guess is that a Mac platform is not used in the DR, and I want my Dominican family to become computer literate for school and work (I should live so long!). Anything I need to know? - D
