My Tiny Mind
I spoke of the wonderment of seeing my first pocket calculator the other day. Maybe it's just that small things amuse small minds, but I am quite taken by the small wonder that I'm holding in my hand in the above picture. If you can't quite guess, it's a 120 gig external hard drive for the laptop that I port over to Nikki Dee's everyday.
My laptop is three years old and has a smallish hard drive. All of my photos plus all of my tunes on iTunes (for my iPod) take up way too much space for the computer's drive. While I already keep all sorts of files on another external drive, that one is too cumbersome to carry about daily, so when I saw this little beauty on sale, I took the plunge.
It doesn't need a power supply, and I can install programs on it and plug it into other computers if need be. While it's mainly for storage, it's nice to have options. Needless to say, I really like it.
As I said, small things amuse small minds. Which means that my brain must be extraordinarily tiny.

I think this is a truly marvelous device and am also thinking that I must get one for myself.
When it comes to our amazing world of technology, I love nothing better than some new little toy that just knocks my socks off. :-)
So you are a gadget guy! I would not have guessed it.
I've never been very gadgety, not sure why. I guess the word 'bamboozled' was invented for me. You are right though... it is amazing! :o)
My youngest grandson is always intrigued with gadgets such as the external hard drive. He likes any kind of gadget and likes to take things apart and put them back together. I think this is something that will stay with him for life.
I need one of those external hard drives for all of my photos. I enjoyed my visit.
