The Computing History Museum - YouTube
If you're interested in the history of computers, click the title link...good stuff!
Before or after you've seen the video, you can visit the museum on line by clicking here. If you can stand a 200mb download there is a fascinating video of the 25th Anniversary of the Commodore 64 there.

Glenn Miller Orchestra - "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" from YouTube
This is a wonderful version of this timeless song....with clips of the original Glenn Miller Orchestra in the opening of the video.
Update on my Amazon Kindle
We've had our Kindle now since November 29th. I've read several books with it, and am very happy with it. We tried a trial subscription to Time magazine and canceled that....I enjoy reading it on-line with the PC much more.
One thing I don't like about it is the drawings or illustrations. When you're reading a book that has detailed maps or drawings I find it much easier to read and reference in a real book then on the electronic Kindle. It is an amazing tool for reading reviews and they allow a free download of the first chapter on any book so you can get a feel for it. All in all I'd certainly recommend it! Go to Amazon.com where there is a video showing all of its features and capabilities.

Learning Curves....Amazon Kindle
Our E-Reader, the new Amazon Kindle arrived yesterday (Nov 29th) and I've been busy playing with it. On ordering it from Amazon I had them include two books (The Coldest Winter and Stone Cold) and one magazine subscription (Time). The magazine and Blog subscription all come with a two week trial period, and we've already canceled the Time one. I find it much easier to read a magazine on-line as it seems to have better navigation.
I am very impressed though with the reading experience of books on Kindle. Like any new technology there IS a bit of a learning curve, but it's not that steep. Once you're used to it you hardly notice you are not reading a paper book. The on-line ordering experience, and the ability to preview almost any book for free, is also worth a lot. Feel free to give me a call if you have questions or would like to discuss it. Even though its only been out a few weeks there are a lot of reviews (pro and con) as well as comparisons with the Sony Reader on-line that you can also wade through, as well at at Amazon's own site.
