However I find it easy to think of the times that I've adopted one of these new technologies after finally "getting it". When you use an item and all of a sudden there is that moment of "Wow...this is realy cool and usefull!"<BR/><BR/>Michelle says hi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-44158500693972591672007-03-23T20:12:00.000-04:002007-03-23T20:12:00.000-04:00Thanks for keeping me up with the tech stock news-...Thanks for keeping me up with the tech stock news--now if you could have told me to dump it all in 2000 I might be a little closer to retirement.<BR/><BR/>I've never owned a palm.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-12665448842960829952007-03-23T19:40:00.000-04:002007-03-23T19:40:00.000-04:00I'm glad I chose a BlackBerry, although I'm eterna...I'm glad I chose a BlackBerry, although I'm eternally sorry that I extended my misery with Cingular/The New AT&T. Just as an aside... What does one have to do to make an anti-trust break-up stick. It took some years, but it looks as though AT&T has managed to grow back together again.

Why else would people spend $2000. plus on an hd tv, & annother few hundred having new cable or satellite equipment. When they can get only, in the best circumstances 30 or 40 channels in hd & some of that not even true hd but upconverted? <BR/>Of course, I am a little predjudiced on this matter...lol.<BR/>Here from Micheles today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-3402680246807039152007-03-23T12:38:00.000-04:002007-03-23T12:38:00.000-04:00My My My, Carmi, you have been "out there"...!

Take older companies like Motorola, RCA, Philco.. they had their own circuitboards, crystals, conductors, condensors, tubes.. that gave their products the competitive edge as they leap-frogged over each other with their improvements down the line. <BR/><BR/>Today, it's all a hodgepodge of who bought out who, who improved on who's schematics, who infringed on who's ideas, who is the better product... When the soup boils down to it, the same bone probably begat all of it, so to speak, lol! <BR/><BR/>BTW, you interview nicely young man! :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124375366809037969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-41222528407345233302007-03-23T08:28:00.000-04:002007-03-23T08:28:00.000-04:00My palm pilot held my life..then it died on me.

What I do thik is that we are so open to the possibility of anuthing now. What was once thought of as futuristic stuff that Jules Verne might have concocted has become here,and gone, at breakneck speed.

Am I somehow responsible for Palm's demise? :) Truly, I never really needed it, I'm just a technophile. <BR/><BR/>As to why it fascinates us...I don't know...I have a strong geek gene, I guess. I mean, my grandfather used to have HAM radios and oscilloscopes in the basement, and while I channel this into blogging, mostly, the bottom line is: gadgets are fun, and COOL!<BR/><BR/>(P.S. You do know that Bibliotica is also mine, right? I've been using that ID on Michele's site to generate some traffic cuz it's new.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
