No, but I have a bunch of single second removed cousins who need greencards. Are you a US citizen?

Hey? So it's YOU whom I should thank for that link!!! (April 11) I downloaded a bunch and have a galaxy picture as my wallpaper (that I got there).

I didn't know you back then - and I'm so glad I do now! I kept wondering just who it was who gave me that wonderful link.

Keep givin' and we'll keep takin'

Luving it,

Lorace

Chezon,
Take a look at some of my reviews on the Treo 270, Tungsten W and the Sony P800.

http://www.epinions.com/user-aashok/show_~View_Profile

If youu are familiar with the Pocket PC platform, another device available is the Pocket PC phone edition such as, http://www.t-mobile.com/products/overview.asp?phoneid=166765.
This is a connected Pocket PC device. But being able to access your Yahoo pop3 email account on the go, would require you have wireless internet access from your carrier. So my advice is to start with your choice of carrier, and explore what connected PDAs are available thru them.

Feel free to E-mail me if you have any more questions.

Write on,

maybe you're the man to help me find the perfect PDA. i'm currently on the market and the options are giving me a headache. (i wanna send email from yahoo or outlook, i wanna keep a calendar and contacts and i wanna play games when i'm bored.) i've decided that i probably should get a pocket pc, but outside of that, i'm stuck.

anyway, great review.

So interesting and busy. When the bod would allow for working out, I was against it. Now that I can't I think I should ah humans we are a strange lot.

Great read of many interesting facts. Thanks

Lorace,

I wouldn't wish my wallet raiding inner gadgetgeek, on anybody. If you are still interested in astronomy, I suggest bookmarking the following link. It's called Astronomy picture of the day. You will thank me later.

If you ever have any questions about the great cosmos, feel free to e-mail me. I have loads of such useless information in my mental databank.

You are soooooooo interesting. (Reply to this comment)
by lorace
I love it and wish I had a brain more like yours! I'm so interested in technological gadgets, etc. but was born about 30 years too soon, though if I do say so, I'm not doing too bad. I can still write in Basic! ha

I can't tell you about how many cold winter nights I sat out in my backyard with a star map on my lap and a flashlight in my hand (to read it with) and pondered those heavenly bodies! Fantastic. Beyond our comprehension. Oh, to be able to explore the galaxies would be a dream come true.

So we do have much in common. And I'm so glad to meet you and thank Stockholder for that.

Re: wow... (Reply to this comment)

35mm, medium and large format will always be the preferred choice for artistic and many professional users. But with the advent of super megapixel cameras and the versatility of digital image manipulation, analog film cameras will find limited use. However, I doubt any digital image editing program could match Ansel Adams dark room techniques.

PS watch out for my review on the EOS1Ds as soon as epinions lists it to their database.

wow... (Reply to this comment)
by hipyx
a world without 35mm...I think I would cry, and then cry some more....but I think you're right about the consumer deal. However, artists like me can still use the 35!! It's good to get to know you. later

Jo,

I’ve just begun my exploration of your tremendous body of work on Epinions. I can’t think of 70 let alone 700 things to write about. Thanks for your comments and yes, I will take you up on the brain-picking offer.

Ron,

You just reminded me of something I forgot to add. I always considered myself a dog person. And when my wife introduced me to cats, I found I had strong allergic reactions to them. NOW I wake up in the mornings with fur in my beard. Daphne loves to scratch her face on my chin, while I’m sleeping!

I'm not spongebob man but at 45 I became a certified trainer. My kids thought I was in a midlife crisis but now they are my biggest fans I get calls "What should I do to..." so if you want to pick my brain, feel free to e-mail me. My daughter lives in NYC though I keep my children a closely guarded secret. Unlike others their pics are nowhere on this great big WWW. I know nothing about quantum physics and am math phobic. I think it is a right brain/left brain thing. I was/am a Social Worker. And by the way your trust is appreciated. jo

My wife DOT and I just celebrated our 26th Wedding Anniversary on 17 March. Our kids our grown, married and have their own kids now we get to see our Grand kids at least 1 weekend a month. Our passion is our babies, our 3 Cats, Baby, Ginger & PeeWee, our Kitten Dusty and our outside German Shepherd Sheba. Dusty is the cutest kitten she is 1/2 Manx and 1/2 Persian with no tail and she was born with only 1 eye the poor thing. She is a mischief-maker but is a very, sweet and loving kitten that we adore like you do yours.
