I have a love-hate relationship with Amazon.com. You know, the destination web site. I’m doing my self-directed Christmas spending now; I go into a funk if I don’t have a box on my front porch at least once a week.
Recent purchase #1: Motorola Global Q PDA. I’m not a sophisticated user but so far everything works: phone, contacts, e-mail, ActiveSync. It’s Windows Mobile 6 running Opera instead of IE…go figure? When I have the time and an Internet connection…
Recent purchase #2: Nikon D80 digital camera. This is my aloha present and it’s sweeeet. I had an N90 and the associated lenses (all of which are worth essentially zero on the resale market), so there was an “economic” incentive to spend the dinero. I looked at other comparable units but I prefer to spend a little more and get the best; quality is the best economy. 2,700 images on one battery charge-dang! I like it. There’s nothing not to love except the sticker. The only open item is case providing some degree of rigidity so I can put the unit in my backpack.
