You can actually imagine the life, without all the techno gadgetry and contemporary trappings *g* <br /><br />Me? I'm so contemporary I couldn't write anything but. Slang, techno toys, all that fun stuff. I can't imagine living without it.<br /><br />I do think I need to get a radio, though. My brother is sure we'll be having an earthquake someday and said I have to have radio for... um, something or other. Kinda like I keep my old fashioned, plug into the wall phone with a cord on hand for electrical outages.Tawnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076851566613018105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-71384939584803664902010-04-15T01:55:19.521-04:002010-04-15T01:55:19.521-04:00Tawny, I didn't realise a radio was such a naf...Tawny, I didn't realise a radio was such a naff thing to buy, but clearly it is.

Totally. It lets me upload SO much. DRM, PDF, etc. <br /><br />And... I can read it while running (on the treadmill, not the street). I can't even do that with a regular book, the page turning and all that drives me nuts, and the small print bouncing all over the place makes me a little nauseous *g* But the Nook? No problem.<br /><br />So... c'mon, admit your addiction, then go touch a Nook. I was able to resist, and probably would have kept on resisiting, if they didn't have them in stock at the B&N the other day. Once I touched... that was it. <br /><br />Well that and the free Disney Alice and Wonderland art for the screensavers. The Mad Hatter looks so dementedly sweet :-)Tawnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076851566613018105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-31745212673238954832010-04-14T23:36:48.994-04:002010-04-14T23:36:48.994-04:00I soooooooooo want a nook now :X I'm so jealou...I soooooooooo want a nook now :X I'm so jealous it plays nice with ADE.

When I got the Nook, my husband asked if that meant more room on the house - aka, would I have less books lining all the walls and using all the shelves in the closets? I said of course not. Not unless I go buy all the books I already own in eformat instead, because we both know I'll continue to buy new paper books.<br /><br />He actually considered it. He said the authors could probably use the royalties, because he could definitely use space to put his shoes in the closet *g* <br /><br />So, nope, it definitely doesn't look like it'll cut back on the number of books. But it sure makes reading some of them easier :-DTawnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076851566613018105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-16797528195123168402010-04-14T23:02:19.658-04:002010-04-14T23:02:19.658-04:00ROFL Nancy.

Heck, even my car required I go online and get the car manual via pdf... now that actually irked me :-) I mean, yes, a computer program that you have to go online for a guide almost makes sense - obviously you have a computer. But until they install one in the dash of the car, its not a given that you have a computer so they should give me the freaking manual on paper!!!!<br /><br />hmmm, I think I'm still grumpy about that.Tawnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076851566613018105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-90125224833461378612010-04-14T23:00:38.188-04:002010-04-14T23:00:38.188-04:00Cassondra said: Yes, I do believe that.
