New Toys

I received a bunch of stuff from Justine via FedEx. I expect more tomorrow. It is all out of date computer equipment that she used at work. I have a total of 6 notebook computers that she sent me. I’ve got several working, but two are missing batteries and several have no power supply. Most are 800mhz up to about 1.8mhz. Justine always gets lots of memory and large hard disks so these are decent computers if I can get them working. I’ll have to find them good homes.
I am using the cute little panasonic with the chinese keyboard to write this. I still can’t touch type on it yet.
She put an older X3 version of the Dell Axim in the box. I charged it up and it worked ok. I had to download the activesync software from Microsoft. It connected right away to my wifi and I was surfing the net on the little screen. I tried writing using the handwriting recognition and it works well. I don’t think that I could write a story that way, though. I will put in a 1 gig sd card and use it as an mp3 player. Ward gave me the a dvd of Neil Gaiman stories recorded as MP3 files. I will copy them over and see if I can listen to them in the car.
