billing, etc... Many websites are designed with these things in mind and
the touch zoom features most of these things have makes it not so bad to
navigate websites, find food or whatever on the road, get a phone number
and address of a store you just decided to visit. Really not bad if you
need that sort of access. Me, I just call her and let her look it up for
me...

Wife told me that was an IPod on the table. She knows this stuff too.
Worked with a guy who had a blue-tooth thing. The thing that wraps
around your ear.
Probably 25 times he was walking towards me and talking to somebody
else.
Fooled me the first 20 times. "What? Speak up." I'd say.
Then he'd do a 180, walk in the other direction still talking.
I never got used to it, but I think he learned to turn around before
he got close to me.

You don't seem to be "equipped" for technology.

achmed the sock puppet, or one of a half dozen others, you're wasting
your time by trying to *communicate* with me through rec.boats, because,
well, you are among the permanent members of my dumbfoch dumpster, and I
don't read the vomit you post, except by accident on occasion. As
always, have a nice, simple-minded day.
