I'm looking for a way not to have to lug a weighty laptop around :)
I am a Luddite at heart, don't have a PDA, don't want one. My cell
phone is the "plain vanilla" variety -- no pictures, no ringtones, no
text messaging, no websurfing, no games.
I think I must be a librarian at heart (which makes sense as my first
choice of jobs would have been English teacher and my mom was a school
librarian before she retired)
and before Jared throws me off the list for going too off topic, I'm
gonna end it here.
