I bought a Droid today. I am not going to torture myself any longer. Not sure when I will be able to actually run it halfway decently. That is going to take some time- this is a very complicated toy I got 🙂

Since I left my job as a tech support rep for a cellular company 4 years ago I have become less and less interested in the new gadgets that have become available for sale at what seems to be a faster rate every year.
