I'm back. The Far East trip was great. In fact, it was incredible. There were
over 1600 exhibitors at the big Hong Kong Electronics
Show alone and lots more at the other shows. And
yes, I walked by every single booth in every hall. My feet still hurt. I've got
a few snap shots to share. Click
Here for My
Trip Report and a few very brief examples.
Of course I had numerous Peeking
Ducks (they run for cover when I hit town so they don't become an endangered species.)
lots of Pad Thai and Mee Krop too.
I really do love the Chinese and Thai food. But thankfully I was able to skip
the thousand-year-old eggs on this trip.But
what's really important is that I saw and negotiated for lots of exciting new
products and technological innovations. And,
I'll be sharing them all with you early next year. Most of the products don't
even have FCC approvals yet and that takes time. So please be patient.
It's really worth the effort for me and the wait for you.
Plus I came back and spent
a few days setting up my new 2.54 GHz computer. (Wow it is fast.)
But, that's another story I need to share with you if for no other reason that
we need to talk about IEEE 1394 (FireWire) video and
if you take digital photos why Windows XP will make your life so much
easier. Oh,
and how to get some neat digital photo things I didn't know I could do with Win
98 too.
A
NEW Tutorial is born. While I was on the trip I was in a factory without
my notebook computer. So, I used theirs. Big mistake.
Other than it not really being English, they had nothing on their Tool Bars.
So, on my next 8-hour flight segment I wrote this tutorial. I hope it helps, or
at least you can see how I pass my time. Click
to see my Customizing and Personalizing Word tutorial on how to customize
Microsoft Word® to really save you time.

What's a Wireless
Marriage Saver? Simple. It's
a wireless headset you can wear in bed, in the office or in your den so that you
can enjoy great sounding TV, Stereo Music or Stereo from your computer WITHOUT
bothering those around you.
Click to read all about it. That's
why I named it the Wireless Marriage Saver. My wife likes to drift off to sleep
while I flip through old movies in the middle of the night.
The sound used to drive here crazy. And the interrupted
sound when I flipped was the final straw.
That's how the Wireless Marriage Saver was born. But it's much more. You can use
it in the den to enjoy one program while others in the room do something else.
Your kids can listen to rap while you enjoy Mozart. Ah, much better. Click
to explore what this great technology can do for you.
At the office, you can enjoy Internet
Radio or your favorite CDs or MP3s without anyone being forced to listen too.
It's all easy when you have a Wireless Marriage Saver to unleash your favorite
sounds.
Oh and if
you have an older parent or spouse who really needs to crack up the
sound to hear, now they can while you listen at normal volume. What a relief.
And it plugs
into to just about anything easily and effortlessly. Headphone jacks,
line outs or speaker terminals. If there's a jack, you'll be wireless in seconds.

newfound wireless freedom.Top |
