Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Compared to some of the stuff the rest of us having kicking around? NSM

I have no idea where it came from, we all just stared at it, trying to deduce its function.

At least if it's an automotive part, Hubby can look at it and go "Oh, that's the whatzit switch from the thingie valve from a '68 Mustang fastback."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I wonder if there's one for Librarything.

I just came across instructions for using RedLaser to scan ISBNs into LibraryThing [link] I bet that is easily modified for some Android app

Eta: I think I am deciding that I'd rather keep my library records on the web than on my phone, so I'd better finish getting everything into LibraryThing...

There's a LibraryThing app that will put your catalog on a PDA. This group over there discusses it: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't believe my reflexive reaction was "What's a PDA?"

Good lord.

YOu could have at least said "What do public displays of affection have to do with anything?"

Public displays of aggression? What?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have a PDA somewhere! I got it in a bag of stuff at a garage sale...

Can an older smartphone without a contract make calls with skype?

eta: if wi-fi enabled.

Skype operates over wi fi, so if you have that, you're good. Phone or computer.
