I’ve been mostly offline today due to my migration from Outlook 2003 to 2007; more on that later. While I had downtime in between .OST and .PST file movement, I realized I’m not getting any younger. Dare I say it: am I reaching that mid-life point and can expect the standard crisis? I think so because my mobile tech needs have changed. I used to crave run-time over performance, but the pendulum has swung back. I need power and speed in my mobile technology. Run-time can be extended but performance? Well, you typically need to buy that right from the beginning. Sure, you can tune up and tweak, but how far will it get you?
Yup, my needs are definitely changing and it’s evident by the latest potential acquisition. What is that I’m considering? It’s not what you think…in fact, I’d give every reader three guesses and I still think nobody would figure it out…
Had you going didn’t I? :) For the record, we haven’t bought this 1991 Corvette yet, but my dad needs to sell it and we could use a backup car so we’re leaning heavily in favor of it. We just need something for when the kids go in different directions with their activities; the hybrid vehicle is first and foremost our main car due to the fuel savings. If we do purchase this, please don’t ask me to mount a UMPC on the dash…not gonna happen!
