Facebook

I wonder if most of you are Facebook users. I have been a member for quite a while, and as more and more people join it gets more interesting. I just "discovered" through their Search facility a young woman I worked with at IBM in 1968-1975, so the last time I even saw her or heard from her or of her was 35 years ago. In her profile I learned that she went on to other companies and became a Vice President of a major tech company! How great for her. It was fun to see this and to send her a "hello" message with congratulations after all of these years. I think she was about 27 then. She too is retired now and enjoying her grandchildren, much the same as I am enjoying ours. What a nice thing this Facebook system can be when used like this. I look forward to discovering many other classmates and friends and co-workers whom I haven't seen or heard from in many, many years. It's a nice way to share and relive some good old memories.

Verizon sold 100,000 Droids over first weekend, analyst says

This is a Computerworld.com story. If anyone out there has one of these Droids, please consider sharing your experience with it by commenting to this post. Just click on Comments below this post. I am quite interested in this myself, and I imagine others will be too, especially since service is provided by Verizon, the one servicer we all love to hate.

Google's own version, Nexus One, will be coming out soon, but I hear it'll only work through T-Mobile. Are they even available here in the Northeast? Please comment if you know.
