Blogging

Ok so I tried blogging on an ordinary mobile phone, what a disaster.  I'm not relying on this sort of technology. Far too hard.  The one bag that I can carry on the scoot will have to contain my Apple MacBook Laptop, built in wireless connection, mobile modem, cables and chargers etc.  Half my luggage capacity taken up by computer, phone, chargers, ipod Touch, camera etc.  This leaves room for a pair of jeans, two pairs of sock, three pairs of pants, two hankerchiefs, a spare shirt, one cardigan and one (only one) book.  These will have to last me for about ten days. Once I get to Portovenere I can buy new stocks from the market.....    Talikng of technology, I can't sing enough praises for Apple Kit.  Everything just works, no fuss, no silly pages displaying what Windows has found and will install.  It just works.    I was in Leeds with Christine last weekend, to look where Grace was going to go to Uni.   Two examples of Apple, Got to hotel, no wireless, so plugged Macbook into ethernet port in bedroom.  It's just the lack of fuss, not one mention of anything "new" detected.  Internet browser just opened up and connected.  The next morning, we were having a coffee in a little cafe in the city when Christine told me there was a sign saying Wireless Internet.  Took my ipod Touch from pocket.  The Touch had aready connected with the wireless network when I opened it up and the Browser just worked, again no fuss, no mention of what it had connected to, it just did it.  At the same moment Grace texted me from Italy to tell me listen to a Duffy single "Mercy" when we got home.  Clicked on itunes downloaded the song from the Store, no questions asked, and played the song for Christine to listen to.  When we got home and connected the ipod up to my Apple Pro, it automatically added the purchased track to my iTunes collection. Again no questions asked, it just does it.  I wouldn't go back to Windows for a big clock.  Shame I have to use it to earn a living.
