This page is undergoing some renovations so please check back again in
the next few days for updates.
Famous last words:
I'll
never need
all
that disk space.
At this point, I use quite a few gadgets. I thought I might as well share
and suggest what you may want to try and what you may want to avoid. I've
found that the best products we find through recommendations..
yup, yet again the power of our social networks.
The Machines
Although I have a desktop in my office, these days I mainly rely on my IBM
ThinkPad X60 laptop. It's great. It even has a built-in SD card
reader, sweet!
My
Treo 680 is also very important to my everydays. I use both its
phone
and personal digital assistant features regularly.
Additional
Gagdets
Thanks to my friend Dirk's research on the issue - and because he allowed me
to try his - I purchased a digital
camera in 2001: the Canon
S100
Digital Elph. I moved on to the S400 a few years later and am now
enjoying the SD630. They've all been great.
More to come as I update this page...
What Not To Get
iPod - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not only is it expensive, it's going
to cause lots of frustrations. Apple's has a long track record of
batteries that fail and they continued this trend with the iPods. It's
very unfortunate.
Hewlett-Packard CD Writer - NOOOOO! I really don't recommend it.
It's been the worst computer related purchase I've ever made. The idea
was to create backups of my big files (300MB+), but it must be
incompatible with something on my system because it either takes forever
or doesn't work at all. It's caused me more frustration than I care to
comment on.
