What's the best new, to most people, technology gadget you use? Pinnacle PCTV Deluxe is the answer to most peoples problems. www.tv-cards.com/pctvdeluxe.phpYou can plug your satellite, cable,antena,video camera, VCR,DVD player, music players and just about anything else into this little device. It puts a television window on your desktop that is resizable to full screen. It has TIVO, capture and produces streamed videos of your TV shows and DVD burning capability. You have to have a DVD burner to make DVDs. It captures digital photos, that can be put in Powerpoint and transformed into posters with captions. You could even put yourself in the poster if you have picture editing software. I'll try to capture something later and put someone in it. I love to find new things like this. Anybody seen anything else lately? See ya, George |

I am going to get a webcam so Anne and I can have some fun Linda I have been waiting and waiting !! ... I will tell you something ... our Messenger chats are fun right now .. but you WAIT until you get that webcam !! ;D ;D Oh George !! ... Apart from the WEBCAM I am hard pressed to think of anything ... !! Like Linda I am darned proud of myself for becoming so computer savvy in the past few years !! ... but in all honesty technology is way ahead of me!! ... I got a new phone last week ... it LOOKS great !! ... but it will probably be at least a year before I figure out what it REALLY does !! ;D ;D .. and by then it will be "Old hat" anyway!! ;D ;D |

Technology intimidates me. I barely can use our cell phone. Our camcorder doesn't seem to work, and I don't know what to do about. Hubby bought it refurbished--bad mistake, I guess. And the computer--well, I can get around on it pretty well, but start using all the abbreviations (CPU, RAM, etc.) and numbers, and I'm lost. ;D

I saw an article on the Internet where they have cell phone collars for dogs that answer automatically. It has a fiber optics camera. You can talk to your dog and see what he sees.
You can also use your GMS cell phone to down load maps that tell you where your dog is.
Can you imagine my dog disappearing and I call his collar. I could talk to him,"Herbie leave Fee Fee alone and get home right now." He would bend his little head over and give me a sad look in the camera.
Just kidding around

Just kidding around George ;D ;D ;Dif it was our dog, he'd be looking arund for us wondering where we were ;D That's what he does with the answering machine when either of us leaves a message and he's standing there. Then he runs to the doors back and forth looking ;D ;D ;D |

I know what you mean. When I go places, my dog will sit outside a window where he can see me inside. Then he runs to the door when I come outside.
