I have a TracPhone that has the capability of sending a text message but it takes me several minutes to even figure out how to say and send the word yes! It amazes me whn my kids find and do things on my computer that I never knew and would never be able to recreate. My techy SIL is anxious to get ahld of my Nook. I'm sure he will find many things to do on it that I never knew was on it and may find me some free apps that I really don't need. I enjoy reading on it and the 'read to me' books for kids is just great. Even I enjoy reading them.

I hop I never have to give up my cable and DVR. I have no idea how to operate my DH VCR and DVD player.
