Do you even remember what a computer looked like in the 80’s? I sure don’t, I would have been between the ages of 1 and 8 in the 80’s, so I would not have used one. I know that my family did not own a computer till I was about 14 and I had to use MS Dos to play games and stuff. Here is a link to a video of a computer from 1982, it is neat to see how they looked and worked back then.

I use my laptop during all times of the day and night and I noticed that I was having a hard time reading the keys on my laptop keyboard when there was low light such as at nigh time. I did a search online and found out that there are usb lights that you plug right into your laptop and it will illuminate your keyboard. I purchased one from Amazon.com for only $5.49 and it works great. I just plug the light into the usb port on my laptop at night and it lights the entire keyboard. I have no problem typing with this usb light and I would highly recommend to anyone who uses their laptop during he night.

I have to admit first by telling you that the advice that I am about to give I truly believe in, and yet I had yet to do it myself. I have over 1000 photos on my computer that are very important to me and yet I have yet to ever back them up onto discs, DVDs or even a external hard drive. I know for a fact however that you really should be backing up your data as much as possible, like every month if you can. I do plan on buying a 500gig external hard drive to back up my hard drive data and I pan to do this at least every month. I cannot stress enough how very important this is, especially if you have data on your computer that you really care about such as, family photos, family videos and more. Go to Amazon or Best buy and get yourself some backup discs or a external hard drive and back up your data.

I have never seen a keyboard like this one before. This keyboard is made of a waterproof silicon based material that is very flexible. It is a great keyboard to use in any environment possible and it is easy to take with you when you travel. This flexible keyboard is indestructible and so very easy to clean. If you are a germiphobe, then this is the perfect keyboard for you. You can buy this awesome flexible keyboard at Xpcgear.com for only $10.99. Well worth the price and well worth trying it out at least.

I purchases this portable DVD player at Best Buy about 3 weeks ago and I have to say that it is GREAT. Now, I have not owned a DVD player nor have I ever owned a personal DVD player before, but this player works soo good. I chose this one because it had the longest battery life of 12 hours. All the other had battery lives of 2-6 hours. Not only can this be used on the plane, car, wherever but you can hook it up to your home TV and strap it to your vehicle’s headrest in just two seconds. I use it in the car alot for my daughter and she loves it, and I don’t have cables hanging and such because the battery is soo long lasting that it works for a whole day. You can buy it on Amazon.com for less than Best Buy.

For Valentine’s Day why not get your favorite someone a tech gadget rather than some chocolates and flowers? Gadgets and other such items will stay around for a lifetime where chocolates get devoured in 1 day and flowers last maybe a week or two. There are some great ideas out there on the net for this Valentine’s day such as:
Pink Cell Phone

Dell Laptop (you can get in several colors!)

Pink Swiss Army Knife

And so many more ideas.

I became a member of Netflix back when they first started out and I have to say that it worked out pretty good. I got the movies on time and the return packaging was very easy. I stayed a member for about 4 months and then just got tired of watching movies. I know they have a larger selection of movies now and even lower prices than before too. Netflix has plans starting at $4.99 per month and you get 1 DVD at a time. They also have a FREE two week trial which is a great way to see if you watch enough movies to make them worth your time.
