'Serenity'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I prefer voice, I don't want to look at maps while driving. and you never know how a CA road will be pronounced. DH and I have a gps in our phone. To see his DH put velcro on the stereing wheel and mounted it there.
I reccommend useing one to get to places where you know where you are going - so you can get used to who it works
To see his DH put velcro on the stereing wheel and mounted it there.I'm picturing it velcroed to the center of the wheel. Is it covering the horn? I hope he doesn't have an airbag. That could be dangerous. I hope I'm wrong in how I'm picturing it.
It didn't stay there very long The airbag is probbably why he didn't keep it there.
No thoughts on the best laptop for a venerable oldster?
I have so little experience with pcs, I would hate to recommend a lemon. In fact, she was saddled with a terrible Compaq for 2 years of tech woes.
I'd love to point her to something good. Anybody have a favorite?
Alas, bonny, my experience with laptops is confined to the Thinkpads we used at work years ago, and my lone iBook.
There are a lot of new-ish netbooks out there now, which are pretty stripped down, and most importantly INEXPENSIVE. Howver, it sounds like she wants a bigger screen because of vision issues, right?
I think our Garmin is a nuvi and I like it a lot. It does it's job well and we used it to drive from VA to NM.
Is anyone on a no-contract cell phone plan? Feel like offering recommendations?
I used Virgin Wireless for a long time and was very happy with it. They use the Sprint network, if you know what coverage for that is like in your area.
Oh, and I should mention I want the internet on the phone. Nay, need the internet, especially if I'm going to survive in my new job.
I had that too - neat little phone that flipped on the long side and had a full qwerty keyboard. I miss that phone. (It did not survive being dropped in a rushing water during a big storm.)
