Crosswords

Chris and I like to do crossword puzzles on Yahoo and USA Today. I would use the laptop and he would try to find a place where he could see the screen, and it finally got to be frustrating, so we quit doing them together. I kept doing them solo, but missed doing them with him. He has an amazing vocabulary.

Last week I had downloaded a movie from iTunes and we figured out how to hook the laptop up to the TV so we could watch the movie together. So, you can see where this is going... yep, I hooked the laptop up to the TV and we are back to doing crossword puzzles together. He was able to sit back and relax in his recliner while we worked the puzzle. How cool is that?

iPhones

My phone has been acting up and Chris's needed a new battery, so I had to go get my driver's license renewed, and then I decided to stop by the AT&T store. I was just going to upgrade my phone and get him a battery. I ended up leaving with two iPhones, one for each of us. Really enjoying them, but we are both finding that some of the things our simple phones can't be done on the iPhone. Simple things - two main ones for me - I can't forward a calendar note and I can't create groups so I can easily pull up a certain group of people who would be receiving the text (and calendar note).

Also, we found that if you enter a contact, you can enter a birthday for that person, BUT it does not import it into the calendar which makes no sense to me. So, I had to go through the calendar month by month and enter all of that information even though I had already entered it in each contact.

But, all in all, I love it. We are downloading all of our music CDs into the iTunes.
