iPad Madness...

Met my new manager today.  This might work out.  She claims that she doesn't want to change anything here, just go with the flow.  We'll see!

Meanwhile, can you believe all these Apple lemmings?  I haven't figured out whether they just have to have the latest Apple gear or they really have a use for the iPad.  Based on my own principles of bleeding-edge technologies: 1) Let them work out all the bugs first. , 2) Pay less in a few months for the same but better technology. , & 3) Have a good use for what they are selling.

The only task that I can think about so far is to use it to read newspapers and books.  Perhaps I'm just too old fashioned, but I really want some device that is lighter and with a larger display.  Also, I'd really like a convenient way to put "other" documents on it- other than what I buy from iBook or iTunes or iWhatever.  The simplest feature that Apple could have provided was a USB port, which they didn't, so currently if you can find a program that will run on it to read your document, you would have to email it to yourself and then save it from the email.  Perhaps King Jobs has some other predilection, but he is not making that very clear at this point.  I am NOT going to rush out to buy a toy for that price unless I can come up with a plan.

CD Player

I wanted to buy a CD player, but was completely perplexed by one model's promotional sign. So I called the salesclerk over and asked, "What does 'hybrid pulse D/A converter' mean?"

He said, "That means that this machine will read the digital information that is encoded on CDs and convert it into an audio signal."

"In other words," I said, "this CD player plays CDs."

"Exactly."

 Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgg!

A blond and her husband are lying in bed listening to the next door neighbor's dog.

It has been in the backyard barking for hours and hours. The blonde jumps up out of bed and says, "I've had enough of this." She goes downstairs and out the back door.

After a little while, the blond finally comes back up to bed and her husband says, "The dog is still barking, what have you been doing?"

The blond answers, "I put the dog in OUR backyard, now let's just see how THEY like it."
