If I were taking lots 'o notes, I think the touch would be neat-o. This coming from the "chick" who wasn't very fond of having a touch screen, about a half year ago! :o)TC [Girl]https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627383459407464083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485455051458949924.post-38139786824664012402011-10-07T12:07:48.433+01:002011-10-07T12:07:48.433+01:00I bought a handful of thin throw pillows a couple ...I bought a handful of thin throw pillows a couple of years ago, and this one has the best colors methinks. <br /><br />the screen keyboard, operated with the five-way controller, is sufficient for the occasional search and such.

I hadn't remembered hearing about those, before your recent writing of it.)TC [Girl]https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627383459407464083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485455051458949924.post-12437069047145117662011-10-07T10:12:23.864+01:002011-10-07T10:12:23.864+01:00Eolake said...
