New iPod Touch

Oh my! I am behind in my blogging, because I was at the coffee shop yesterday salivating over... no, not anything behind the counter, but a new iPod Touch that someone was showing me. I was so enchanted with it, that during my shopping frenzy, I bought one for myself!

The problem with this is: after hours and hours of reading and experimenting, I am now barely able to figure out how to synch things with my computer. Since I bought this at a Best Buy store and not an Apple store, I had to download the latest version of iTunes to be able to use it (this took more than a half hour), and then I needed to download the latest version of the new operating system for the Touch. Eeek! Then I had to call Apple Care to find out what I was doing wrong...

I have managed to get on the Internet, and now I must learn how to get OUT. I was able to pull up my own page (this one), but it's not as easy as that. I do now have the correct date, stock market quotes, and soon I will learn how to download bird calls and learn how to put new applications on here.

I was just minding my own business, but it seems that without having the phone part of the iPhone, I now have a way to get all the relevant apps that I wanted, and all I have to do is learn how to use it. Oh, what have I gotten myself into? I am now completely overwhelmed, which always happens when I get started with these things.

My blogging buddies might have wondered what happened to me if I didn't at least try to explain. It's almost 3:00 pm and I have only just begun! Those Christmas cards will need to wait until I've got a handle on this. Hang on, I'm almost there...
