Recent days have brought many digital blessings. My third oldest grandchild, 10-year-old Zélia now has her first email account, thus joining two of her cousins, Moira and Liam, in cyberspace. I'm sure my youngest grandchild, Gabriel, can't be far behind. Not 100 percent sure but I think Zélia's first email was to her mom and the second one to me.
Also, I read the David Pogue article on the Amazon Cloud Drive and this solved a vexing digital problem for me: how do I get my i-Tunes music from my Mac desktop over to my PC laptop. I tried flash drives and those didn't work, but after more than 20 hours of upload time, I now have all my music up in the clouds and can access it any time, any place. It was a very easy process, and as Pogue said, it's almost free. I bought an Amazon MP3 file with 99 of Debussy's best stuff for $6.99 and got 20 gigs of free space.
Finally, I took the plunge and bought a B&N Nook. Again, I had heard and read reports that one can "root" a Nook and make it into an Android Tablet at half the price, if you don't mind voiding the warranty. There's even a you tube video showing you how to do it. However, when I bought the Nook yesterday, I was told don't do it: we are coming out with an app that will transform the Nook into a Tablet!
So, there you have it! All goes well for me, digital-wise and otherwise!
