That's my sad story and I'm stickin' to it! I still have a plain old cell phone (though, like Linda, I felt left behind at FGS last summer without a smart phone). I don't like to buy the first versions of anything, but then by the time I'm ready to buy them, something else is going to replace them. Your post is so funny and yet so true at the same time!Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-79626215256066383872011-01-07T09:18:30.533-06:002011-01-07T09:18:30.533-06:00James - thanks for the valuable idea!

I'm still trying to migrate all my files--and I can't get rid of the old gadgets until all the files get updated. I hope that happens before I have to erect a headstone for my old files to RIP!Joy Stubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341576269996953891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-30134208048165632852011-01-04T19:38:17.512-06:002011-01-04T19:38:17.512-06:00Thanks for the comments, ladies!Thanks for the comments, ladies!Susan Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788283253544225956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-12023085128074085532011-01-04T18:36:22.138-06:002011-01-04T18:36:22.138-06:00Great post.

I still do have what was once a great camera that I haven't parted with yet. Perhaps it is time to bury that too. The Tandy is long gone as are the various tape players and the 8 track players too. Weren't those just the best in their/our day though?<br /><br />R.I.P. past technology!<br /><br />LucieLucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.com
