I am on the road right now so I don't have access to my cable modem. To connect to the internet I am using my Sanyo 4900 with Sprint Vision connected via USB to my 15 ALBook. I have not changed any settings but since I started doing this all the pictures and icons on websites look very poor almost like if I was using thousands of colors instead of millions. Is this normal, and does it automatically change when using the cell phone? On a similar note I can only use my cell phone as a modem when I plug it into the right side USB port, why? I can't wait to get back home though I got Panther waiting for me!!!
