Interesting usefulness

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Last night I found some interesting useful things to do with my Pocket PC. Sleeping at the in-laws, I used a CF card full off MP3’s and my stereo headphones to fall asleep to music without bothering my wife, or having to lug around any extra cd player or cd’s. Then, when I woke up in the middle of the night, the Pocket PC was still running right there on the night stand, so just a tap on the screen later I had enough light to see my way around the room, and I could get a peek at the time. Of course this assumes you have it plugged into a wall outlet and set to not shut off when connected to power this way, but it was kinda nice.

Angela, on the other hand, called it the most expensive night-light in the world. She just doesn’t get it. *L*
