Is this necessary?

I started today in a coffee and computer-induced massive ADD state. One item led me to a side-trip, which led me to another side trip and another… until I had lost sight of what I started out to do first. Once I awoke from my ADD coma, three and half hours later, I pondered if this is the natural state of modern Homo sapiens, which is only going to get worse as technology expands its reach into every facet of our lives.
This past week UPS delivered both machines, first the Eee PC and then two days later the Kindle 2. Both are extremely well designed.

I had a brief education in Cablevision’s Optimium Boost service issues yesterday from a Cablevision tech support person, Kimball, who was checking out my buried cable. The cable needs to be replaced but that won’t happen until the spring when the ground is not frozen.
ASUS Eee PC 1000HE initial impressions

This note was composed on the 1000HE.
The PC/netbook is small, light weight and quite usable. It has Windows XP Home installed by default.
Setup is straightforward, like setting up any typical XP machine.

A constant of technology is that it always changes. You need not try every “innovation”, that’s my job! But you should keep abreast of significant trends. The migration from Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) to other browsers is a significant and ongoing change. Two years ago IE accounted for 80% of the market. Today it has about 67% and its share is sinking. Apple’s Safari and Mozilla Firefox are gaining share daily.
