New GPS

I have a new (actually refurbished) Magellan GPS. It's a 4.3 inch one with Bluetooth, and I've connected my cell phone to it already. I've ordered the new 08-09 maps and they've been shipped, I think, so it's just a matter of time and I'll be connected in the car. David has a newer smaller Magellan in the truck, so we're really ready for travel adventures.

New "toys" in technology are really fun. I think I want a WII for Christmas, too. Then I can get the "fit" game and pad and workout here at home in the winter. I'll have to ask David for it, I guess. Too expensive for the kids, but maybe he can get the Wii and they can give me accessories for it. I don't need anything, so this might be a good idea.

New Computer

I have a new Toshiba Satellite laptop computer. It's wonderful. The sad thing is that my old Dell crashed to make me buy this one. My old harddrive is being checked for data retrieval, so keep your fingers crossed for me. 5 years of my personal information and documents all gone, if not. I'm worried, needless to say.

I've used Library Thing a lot lately, along with Ravelry.com. I hope to continue to post on this blog about my online Web usage.

I've downloaded Google Pack to this computer. Hopefully I won't need to purchase MS Office. We'll see.

I have Vista operating system on this and I'm questioning how good it is. I'll keep you posted.
