I returned the FM transmitter to Tandy at lunch time – returning it was really simple and painless. I just said that the device would not work thanks to the number of radio stations in the local area running on the same frequency as the device. I am glad it was so easy – I expected some argument as it came in one of those containers that once opened could not be closed.

This morning when I was out, when I purchased the cassette adapter I wanted to use it when I got back to the car. So I asked the shop assistant if I could use her scissors to open the plastic packet. To my surprise she said yes, and commented how hard it was to open the darn things.

I spoke to Vodafone Data Support about an outgoing SMTP server. The reply came back that it is smtp.vodafone.com.au. So simple. I will try it later to make sure that this actually works, but I am sure it will. I expect to get a lot of WOW’s from friends when they realize I can take my laptop anywhere that a cellphone works and get access to the net. Yeah, I know… Boys and their toys.

I have some more playing to do with GPRS… So I need to get going – more later.

Music:

iPod music on Random Play. There are 5815 songs on the iPod. I am getting rid of duplicates gradually… So things are going well
