The News on Day 7

I’m a little tired today, but doing well. Coffee keeps me going. The Vorlon Wife and I went back to Best Buy to return the “extra” CD player we had.

While there I tried to look at their PDA’s but they had had none left. My Palm Tungsten E is starting to give me some trouble. The on/off switch is starting to work erratically. I’m starting to worry that I won’t be able to turn it on at some point.

Palm has an updated model of the tungsten E called the Tungsten E2. From what I have read it has a brighter screen and better battery life than my current Tungsten E.

I realize I should probably upgrade to something better, but the software on my Tungsten E meets my needs to a “T”. It will be enough of a job to load all my current software on a new PDA.

Also while I was at Best Buy I asked the fellow about an MP3 player for my car. I explained my desire for a player that had a large display. The fellow said that if my car can take a CD changer it may solve my problem. He said there is an add-on for the iPod that plugs into the CD change connection of some cars. This allows you to see right on you car radio display what song is playing.

That sounds very cool and I will look into it to see if that is a possibility for Dasher-1.

Ted, I don't know if this will help you with the MP3, but here is what I started doing. I have the MP3 files on my computer and use my Sonic CD Writer software to produce CDs for my car. Of course that means you would have two devices to maintain, MP3 Player and CDs.
