The choices that I have today are what digital camera to buy, what MP3 player... What satellite radio to buy between the two choices of Sirus or XMS.

I spend an inordinate amount of time researching in my feeble way the various recommendations and opinions of others on the internet... Then I make my purchase thinking that I am well advised. And I get all these little toys and guess what. I don't know how to operate them

So, then I spend an inordinate amount of time on the phone with technical support. They walk me through how to use my particular play toy. I think that I have grasped it.. AHA..

However, when I go to do it myself. I flop...

Ah the vagaries of getting old, having too many new gadgets and marveling that when I am at the Target Store the little kid looking at MP3's with me knows more than the clerk..(:)
