TOYS

being away from home,

i needed stuff for hotels

over time i started accumulating toys

that flight crew typically bring along

bought a personal DVD player ..

been slowly buying DVDs

can use it in an airport,

sitting on a plane OR in a hotel

and, MY personal favorite -

a leftover from my Postal Days

portable CD player ...

i am MUSIC oriented

i would rather listen to music than watch TV

i carry it & listen to my CDs from home

NEED speakers ..

but then i got a DVD player, so i listen to CDs on it

:)

have a computer,

NECESSARY for work

gotta check all my work info online

(NEED internet too )

it is dieing,

so it HAD to be replaced,

bought a laptop thinkin' i WOULD take it with me

BUT, security makes it a TOTAL pain to carry

YES, i have to strip down when i go thru security JUST like every one ELSE

IF i watched TV,

i could see getting cable @ home & a slingbox for the laptop

then i could watch TV when &

where i wanted IF there is Free WiFi

cell phone,

well we HAFTA have one ..

one with a camera is a good option

mine is a basic phone,

i am supposed to be able to read e-mail & surf ..

i can't

:(

PDA,

would be easier than carrying a laptop

more portable,

it can fit in my purse

PDA OR PDA Phone ...

the phone costs more each month BUT,

i can use it ANYwhere ..
a PDA can only uplink IF there is a FREE WiFi spot ..
finding MOST airports i sit in,

cost to link up
:(
SHOULD have gotten the PDA Phone

when i got the new cell

then i would have TWO toys

iPod
it can be used to listen to music
ALL the CD's at home can be stored on it so i can listen to them
a great way to kill the hours i sittin' airports OR hotels
found out i can get podcasts ... they HAVE knitting podcasts
GOTTA figure tht out now

it's easy to use ..

AND you can get something so i can use it in the car ..

CHEAPER than buying a new CD player for the car

can buy portable speakers to take with me for in the hotel
