Our wonderful son tires so patiently to bring us in to the high tech age. I have finally come around to the Mac way of thinking and I don't know how I have lived without it for so long. There is absolutely no thinking or headaches with the Mac. For me to say this at my age is a feat in itself! Now, I am the proud owner of the ipod Touch. I have almost driven my son up the wall because all I have been using it for is music. He keeps telling me it can do so much more. I have tried to explain to him I am happy with just the music. Well, I have again stepped out of my comfort zone and started to add apps to my ipod Touch. Oh and don't say Touch! That is another thing that techies cannot stand. It is a ipod Touch, ok ipt. HA!
I remember when all I wanted from a cell phone is to make calls, period. Now Apple has launched this thing called an iphone. It can do everything but change the oil in your car and wash the dishes. I thought I was a person who had the vision to see the potenial in things, but I really thought this iphone thing was a bit much. Well since I bought the ipt a light has been turned on and turned on bright!
Well let me explain. As you can tell from my bolgs we are full time RV'ers. If anyone knows anything about RV's the one thing you will notice is, there is not a lot of room for a lot of stuff. Big stuff, heavy stuff and a lot of little stuff. So space is limited even for CD's audio or otherwise.
So when I purchased the ipt I was able to transfer all my audio CD's on my lap top through itunes and then load them on to my ipt. Now I can take my music, audio books, a lot of pictures,games everywhere I go even if I don't have my RV with me. I took it all to Puerto Rico and never missed a beat! Now this is cool!
Well now a little birdy is telling me Apple will be launching a 32g iphone shortly. Well I can have all my music, audio books, so forth and now have it all on a phone so I don't have to carry 2 devices. On top of this I will have the internet on the phone as well. Now that is sweet!
We recently purchased a mifi card from Verizon for my Mac. This is so nice to have the internet wherever I take my Mac. There is tethering to the Mac. This is a credit card size card that I can carry in my bag and or pocket. It is a much simpler way to jump on the internet especially the way we travel.
We are looking into up grading our home stereo system that will house a terabyte hard drive which will be great for storing movies. We will soon be able to record straight to the hard drive as well as storing our musice, audio books, photos, games and the like. This is such a big step for the RV industry and US!
Our son tells us that Tivo can do all of this. We will check out to see if it will work with our satellite company.
I am a true Apple believer and a fan and now apart of the Apple family so to speak! Their products are sweet and so easy to use and to understand.
I know our son is breathing a sigh of satisfaction knowing that all the years of educating and beating his head against a brick wall is finally paying off!
