From Sat-8:
Do you have any of the following gadgets, and what kind? when did you get them?
1. Cellphone? Yes
2. Digital camera? Yes
3. Video camera? Yes, but I have no idea if it still works. It hasn't been out of the closet in three years. It's 8mm, not digital.
4. Video game console? No. I've made it a personal crusade to not have one in my house, but that might be changing soon. Those Wiis look awfully fun.
5. TiVo/DVR? No, still using VHS. I'll probably switch when I can't buy tapes anymore.
6. mp3 player/iPod? No, but if Apple hadn't gotten nasty with it's new iPods, I would have. Silly things don't work on OS 10.3.9.
7. Laptop computer? Yes.
8. Any widget or app on your phone or computer to makes your life easier (commute time calculator, on-time flight alert, zocdoc, etc.)? I have Minuteur and Noise on my laptop to make my writing easier. Minuteur makes it easy to do timed writing exercises, and Noise makes it possible to block out all kinds of ambient sound when I'm working.

I'd like to buy a vowel, please
It took me ten days into NaBloPoMo before I drew a complete blank. Not too bad, I think. So, I've gone to the well of prompts from the Writing Prompts group, and found a Saturday one that won't tax my brain too much. (I did say I was drawing a blank, didn't I?)
From Patrick's Place, a Saturday Six.
1. What was the brand and model (if you remember) of the first computer you remember using? A Wang something or other. It was in the math lab at high school, it was huge, ugly, and intimidating as all hell. I never was able to get it to run the math packets we were supposed to use for "independent" learning.
2. What year do you remember using a home computer for the first time? 1990
3. Hype aside, which platform do you prefer: Mac or PC? Mac, baby! (oops! Was that hype?
4. Take the quiz: Are you a Mac or PC? Well, their reasoning is wrong, but the results are right.
5. How fair would you consider the quiz to be based on the responses? Not fair at all. (see above)
6. If money were no object, what brand of computer would you most likely purchase? Sticking with Mac, through and through. Even when my hard drive died and we had to scrimp on groceries for a couple months. Mac before meat, that's my motto!

You Are a Mac |
 You are creative, stylish, and super trendy. You demand the best - even if it costs an arm and a leg. |
