technologically i am WAY ahead...

of where i was this time last year!

so:

• i have a new mouse (this isn't exactly a giant leap for mankind, but a start...)
• i just invested in a portable drive with automatic backup software, so now i finally have a backup (i'm sure all of my clients and the tax man will be thrilled to hear this)....of course i didn't do it for them....basically my life's work (i.e. all of my writing) is on my computer, so now i no longer have to worry about it being lost!
• i have so many things on usb, i now have an external usb thing that allows me to plug 4 usb things into one, so i can (right now at least) have 7 usb devices in the computer at one time...is this too many?
• i have an iphone, and all of you know this was a big leap
• and i now also have a thing that sticks to the car window that the iphone can sit in so effectively i have hands free....only about 12 years too late, but hey, i have it now!
• i have skype - now admittedly i don't have the camera installed, but i do have one!
• oh and my mum will like this, i finally set up folders for my email and you know what? she was right, it is sooo much better when i'm trying to find something! (don't tell her that...)

so what's left you ask? well, i need to sync my iphone calendar with my outlook one (that will be gold if I can pull that off), i should probably consider moving my music from my mp3 player to my iphone....not sure i'm ready for that, and of course, i should probably get around to installing the skype camera...

soooo now the only real question is do i upgrade to windows 2010 operating system and microsoft 7....since it's gonna set me back about $400, i think i'd rather hang onto that cash for now, and if the business does well this year, then i'll do it as a bonus!
