my ups and downs with usb
When I first started using PCs as a kid, there were only two portable storage formats. Tape (as in microcassette) and floppies (as in floppy diskettes). That was it. Tape was way too slow, so I used floppies, and I always hated them.
Today, 2024-Dec-31, is the last day of 2024. This year in particular involved emotional things that I've accepted.
There was a very brief period of time when I tried using navigation on the phone. Twice. The first time I tried it, I could barely read the screen due to sun glare. The second time, the phone overheated from Florida sun in less than 10 minutes and shut down. I went back to using a Garmin and stayed there.
And that brings me to one of Garmin's current offerings, the DriveSmart 76.
Over 20 years ago, I said to myself that one day I'm going to watch It's a Wonderful Life. I finally did.
Yeah, that movie. The one everybody has seen at least 10 or 20 times if not more. The one where many make it a tradition to watch every year. It was not until December 2024 at the time I write this that I finally saw it. Yeah, I'm not kidding. I never saw the movie as a kid nor as a young adult. It took until middle age before I finally watched this.
As I've said before, I am a card guy. Most people don't give much thought to cards, but I do because it takes actual effort to buy one, sign it and send or give it to the recipient in person.
Two types of cards rule above all others for showing off.
