Behold truly the greatest thing since slice bread….mini-side-hover

“Why jennyb, what is this?”, you ask.  Well my friend this is a very tiny life saver!  This little device scans bar codes. “So”, you say.  Hold on I say, doubter.  Let me explain.  This little scanner reads barcodes, and when downloaded into the software will show me information about whatever I scan.  Lets say for instance you are a Chiropractor with lots of reference books.  Lets say you hear about a new book but can’t remember if you already have it or not…well, you can just look in your database that containes all of the books you own.  Each entry will show you a picture of the cover of the book, author, date you purchased, how many copies you own, a brief synopses, the publisher, and how much you paid for it. 

“Well that’s great for that Chiropractor, but how does this apply to me?”, you say.  Great question friend!  This software does the same thing for that wall of cd’s you have up stairs, the wine collection in the cellar, the electronics that you own, and if your favorite pieces of art don’t have a bar code, you can assign one and input your own information into the database.  This feature is very handy in case you ever have anything stolen!

So, your intrigued are you?  Thought so.  You know where to find it!

Ok, I have just returned from one of the best experiences ever.  I call it group.  No, not that kind of group.  This kind of group…..30 to 40 retirees and close to retirees and me chatting about the wonders of the mac, the internet, the iphone, early bird specials, and bowel movements.  We ask questions, watch presentations, break for snacks and coffee (of course) that are provided, and then there are giveaways!!   I love group!! 

I will now introduce you to my new best friend Wilma.  We hit it off right at the start!  Her speech patterns remind me of Phylicia Rashad.  She impressed me with her desire to learn more about the mac and the computer in general.  She has only had a computer for about 5 years.  She says she does not want to be left behind, “You can’t get anything done these days without having computer knowledge”, “I used to say, do this for me, and it would get done.  I have to start learning to do it myself”

Stay tuned for more fabulous quotes from Wilma and updates from group!

Here’s hoping I have a winning raffle ticket next time….cross your fingers!
