Computer woes

[roadie gal]

2-3 days a month I go to a small town in Nevada to work at a part time job. I take my RV and park in the parking lot of the hospital for the days I'm there. I don't have a TV or a computer. I access the internet on my phone just long enough to check my email and delete those generous offers to make my p@nis bigger . That's it. I find it very freeing.

Ahhhhhh... BBS.. Squawks/schreeks from a dial up modem... Dot matrix printers... 5 1/2" floppy disks... Hard drives LESS then 1GB.

What did we ever do before dsl, blazing fast computers the size of an iPhone, and WiFi?!?!

Sit and read a book as we waited for things to download - and I remember having a computer with a 150 MB hard drive - and being quite proud of having all of that space

I download books from the library, too.

This is a nice feature of the Sony Reader, and it returns them automatically when you forget - I just found that out the hard way Well, it disables them and that amounts to the same thing!

I love real books, but I do enjoy my Sony Reader - though some of the books aren't much cheaper than the hard-back version. Options are nice though, and I am thankful to have it
