Many ways

There are many ways to access the internet these days. I remember when there was only 1 way. That was by a big, clunky desktop computer. Now you can access it by your cell phone, PDAs and laptops.

I guess you could call me an old fashioned girl. I only get online by my desktop but it’s not old and clunky. I have a nice flat screen monitor (my old one took up half my desk!). The tower is still big but usually that hides in a door in my desk. I do use a wireless mouse though and wireless internet. When I 1st started online there was only dial-up and I was on AOL. That was the biggest pick-up place ever. Someone would always look for people online and try to pick them up. It was a bad scene.

I don’t use my cell for internet access because the data portion that’s necessary for that costs extra. I don’t need that anyway. But I do send status messages to Facebook by text once in awhile.

Do you use a PDA or cell phone for internet purposes?

It’s dying

My cell phone is dying. I think it’s the battery. Today I’ve had 4 short calls on it and the battery only has 2 bars left on it. Last night the battery died by 9 pm. It’s a good phone except for this problem. Sometimes I have signal problems that could be corrected by one of those cell phone amplifiers but I use Nextel and they don’t work with direct connect phones.

My phone also recently started making clicking noises when I have the earphone connected. I tried another earphone I have and it does it with that too so I know it’s not the earphone going bad.. it’s the phone itself. I’m going to have to break down and take it to the Nextel store and find out what’s wrong with it.
