Yeah, I write everything in Editpad then transfer to a spell check then copy to backend. Its not that work that I lose. Its html editing (albeit with a very clean system, so not like typical html editing) that causes issues. Mucking around in the backend is what causes issues, and not everything can be just as easily saved to notepad/editpad. I probably should create txt templates for most of the stuff I do (and I will soon) but some tasks require more than that.  
 
The good news for you is that NextG has at last been good at providing a connection. Thats why I said thy may be right in their claim to covering 98% of the population. Technically, that may be true. And it does seem to provide better connectivity via wireless than anything else I'm aware of in Aus. The real problem is in staying connected. It drops out way too easily, wa too often, and with no damned explaination for it either.  
 
I'd like to see us all go back to smoke signals to be honest.
