to repeat itself. I should of followed through with my own advice back in November when I first signed up for a 2GB Totally Free Online Backup! Compliments of Mozy account.

Try Mozy and if you need more space, you can always upgrade to Peace of Mind – Only $4.95/Month! Get Mozy Unlimited Online Backup. or to MozyPro for businesses.

All this talk about mp3s has gotten me thinking about the mp3 players I had in the past and how they all in some shape of form have gotten me to this point.

1. Iomega Clik Drive. This is how it all got started circa 2000, 2001. There was a player that went with this that I cannot seem to find anywhere
online. It fitted about the length of a CD of songs. I had to carry 2 or 3 of these to make it throught the typical Gotham daily commute.

2. Then I went and got the Creative Zen NX. This was the answer because it handles both mp3s and .wma (which are still the majority of files that I have). For more on this, look at my previous post.

3. Then when I got the Palm Treo 650, I got the SanDisk 2GB SD Card to only take my absolute favorites with me. This fits around 500 songs give or take.

4. Now with the Palm Centro, I have the SanDisk microSD Card. Now I have about 150 songs on it now. The important thing is now I’m not in such a rush frezny to get a MP3 Player per se.

In the end, when the right one comes along, just like everything else in life , I’ll know it.

For the past several days or weeks, I have been testing out various desktop Mp3 media managers. (iTunes, Windows Media (which is the format where most of my files are on) and Rhapsody(where some other files I brought are on when Palm only had Real as the media player).

For a road warrior (more commuting warrior) like myself, I switch wireless networks as often as I switch clothes. Once I manually login to a network, I don’t want to manually login again if I can help it. Of course, it gets complicated and confusing when a network has the same name as another network. Then, you are at a lost as to which network to connect to. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Continue reading Have a unique name for your Wireless Network?

Its day 3 with my Palm Centro on the road, nearly 200 miles away from home . How I switched from the Treo 650 to the Centro? My cell phone provider’s equipment insurance program. Since they are not producing the 650 anymore, I received a candy apple red Centro. I’m getting over the shock of the smaller keyboard. On the other hand , its stylish, and it can still get down to business. After doing some research by visiting the Palm Blog regarding getting more out of the Centro and also by getting used to the phone and seeing the new Palm applications, I did decide that it was a upgrade in small package.
