Brace yourself.
Technology discussion.
Caution.
Angst ahead.
One of my sons and his wife had an extra one of these and very sweetly, passed it on to me....

Now I know that mp3 players have been around for quite some time, but this is brand new to me. I was lamenting to my son that I had recorded something for myself on my computer, but it wouldn't play on my cd player because it had recorded as an mp3 and my old portable cd player doesn't have a clue what those are. So he said he would send me this gadget to fix my problem.
I spent half of yesterday nursing cold, and loading up my Zune.
I'm still nursing the cold today and haven't even scratched the surface of filling up this little puppy. When I think back to the days of vinyl records, this is pretty amazing stuff. It's kinda spooky really. All that music in such a little teeny weenie, dinky winky, itty bitty space.
I am reminded of a certain character in a certain movie....
"'Tain't fittin', 'tain't fittin', it just 'tain't fittin'."
Even though I am about 3 years behind the technology curve, I'm still knocked off balance by it. Can you IMAGINE what would happen to me if I was on the cutting edge? I'd probably have a meltdown of some kind.
Some people are the seagoing types, some white water rafters, but in the world of technology, I am a pond person. A raft on a pond person.
And my watchword on said craft would be:
"Don't rock the raft!"
(You got any Dylan on that there Zune contraption? I might give him a listen.
Buck up ya big baby. It's only ones and zeros.)
