Subject:RE: A PDA in every pocket? From:"Karen L. Zorn" <k -dot- zorn -at- zorntech -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:19:36 -0700
I have a PDA, but I use it for medical, not business reasons. It is
handy to have my address book available, although I think I've used it
twice in two years.
Yes, I do have a cell phone, plain Jane, usable with hearing aids.
Usually it's my husband who calls, although business clients do use it
often. (It's a left over from the days when we were fulltime RVing and
that was our only phone.) I don't answer or talk on the phone when
driving; in business meetings, restraurants and coffee shops it is off.
I do use it for long distance calls.
My computers are 4 years old, upgraded from Windoze 95 when we moved to
the Phoenix metro area. I just upgraded to CS2 from an ancient version
of Photoshop, and only because I wanted to upgrade Acrobat, it was more
economical to go to CS2 with related goodies (which I haven't used yet)
than upgrade four programs (ID and Illustrator).
I lived on the bleeding edge of technology for years and years, now find
it more of a hassle in the pocket book than worthwhile for relatively
insubstantial upgrades. A couple years ago I did purchase a 19" flat
screen monitor and don't regret that at all. In fact, I wish I had 2!
