looking toward the future

yer, I know, have been a bit slack regarding "personal" details of late. Just few hints here and there.

Am getting a bit confused, bothered and bewildered by this sort of stuff ..




So, am heading toward this sort of stuff ..


Why do i have to be pissed orff by a plethora of interconnecting cables and plug-holes that mostly do not match - but, basically, are supposed to achieve the same end?

Addendum- for the technophobes/philes:

Not to worry, after you make a decision and purchase something it will all change in a week or so.

So start saving your change for the next best thing. LOL

I love technology.

l-o-v-e does not, howver, spell 'understand'.

Recently I bought a memory-stick.
What a little beauty.

You've heard of a cuckoo in the nest?
well a memory stick is a cuckoo in the computer.

good luck!

Very shiny, almost James Bondish.

Memory stick Bwca? I could do with several of those.

have "updated" this post for those who understand the gobbledygook.

am always interested in a new toy .. heh, even though i can't really "afford" it.

and yes, BillyB, will be "out of date" very soon .. Intel are close to releasing their Quad core chipsets.

bwownie, those little "memory sticks" are fascinating, have a little rubberised one around my neck as a pendant, has all my medical and NOK details on it. Who needs an "Access card" when all the paramedics need to do with a comatose body is plug the Flashchip into a laptop .. heh.
