Bon has email; video conferencing coming

Here is a note from Mike:

See others' past blog postings for mailing address and phone number. No cell phones allowed on the Leukemia floor, so if you call her cell, you will simply hear Bonnie's VM instructions to call her room number (612 273 0202).

We got Bonnie up and running with a broadband connection in her hospital room just a few minutes ago. She has a laptop in bed, so email is pretty convenient for her. Email is the preferred communication method for now. Her email address is the same as always: btonneson@yahoo.com.

We have also outfitted her laptop and our home computer with video conferencing (webcam) capabilities (courtesy of the Dartmouth AD clan), so will be conducting daily video-conferences between Bonnie in MN -- and Isabel, Devon, and me in CA. Once we have that up and running I will post some instructions on the blog RE how others can do a videoconference (from their PCs) with Bonnie in her room. The technology has really gotten to the point where it is super simple.

...More to follow.

Just as soon as Mike mentioned technology was super simple, his post didn't make it on to the blog directly -- despite his best efforts and doing exactly what is required -- so I just "nudged" it to make it appear on the blog.
