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.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Conan O'Brien gets Ajay Bhatt to talk trash about Firewire. Okay, not really. But Conan interviews the *real* co-creator of the USB port, not the actor from the Intel ads. Apparently their rock-stars aren't like their rock-stars either.

I thought it was the actual guy until I saw the actor in another commercial for subway or something.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I hear that on some phones, you can get internet and share it to your computer using bluetooth.
OTOH? A number of the restaurants we serve in out-of-the-way areas with no DSL are using Cellular stick modems hooked onto a router that handles USB input.
That, too is cool.

I'm trying to backup my iTunes files so I can move them to my new laptop. It keeps saying that my brand new DVD-R's are locked and unwritable. I have no clue what to do from here. I have about 28GB of data to move.

Our wings are not tired
Bonnie, I've purchased Toshiba in the past and had good luck, but it's been a few years since I purchased my last PC. For the last 3 or 4 years I've been buying Macs even when I want to run Windows, I just run windows using Boot Camp. I'm much happier with the Apple hardware no matter what OS is running on top of it.
