I have been thinking about the computer issue. I did decide that taking the iPod and the computer is not a good idea.
The little computer is a fine travel companion. It plays cards and chess with me. Has a library of eBooks. And, I can take the old MP3 player and the computer can keep it filled up with tunes or audio books.
But, this trip isn't about computers. So, I still don't know.
| Function | Computer | iPod |
| Yes - but I have to connect | No | |
| Internet | Yes - connect problem | No |
| Save Photos | Yes | Yes |
| eBooks | Yes | No - but does audio books |
| Music | Yes | Yes |
| Games | Yes - lots of them | Yes - lame ones |
| Travel weight | About 3 pounds | About 10 ounces |
| Safe keeping | I'd leave it in hotel room and hope for best | I'd keep it in my purse |
| Replacement Cost | $1,200 - but the computer is over two years old | $500 - Almost new |
| Replacement hassle | minimal | minimal |
I started thinking about underdrawers while watching Swan Lake last night on PBS. Cod-pieces, you know.
Hunting for underdrawers - for amusement - I decided to search the internet for the most expensive pair of ladies panties I could find. The panties have to be "wearable" and not contain precious stones, precious metal, or fur. The current winner is a little silk butt flosser that clocked in at $134. Will search some more. NO, I DON'T INTEND TO BUY THEM!
