I am really getting a kick reading all the posts I missed while at 3 conferences on 3 continents in 3 weeks! Many of the comments posted are making me smile.

I thought I would be virtual and stay completely connected however my cell phone malfunctioned right away, my computer got fried by a power surge in a hotel and I even somehow burned out my iPod!

Educationally - the trip was a success - technologically - it was a total disaster!

I will file more reports as I catch up but I just wanted to say it was sure nice to be plugged in again!

Hi Terry.... There was one thing that I bet you only did 2 of - travelled 2 hemispheres - but nothing would suprise me about where you get to.
Hope you enjoyed your visit down under. We certainly appreciated your visit.

Terry,
Please don't ask to borrow my vibration analyzer!

I don't hold it against you Walt. I would not lend me anything remotely electronic till I reverse this trend.

I am slowing climbing back toward technology -

I removed my Alienware laptop hard drive (as they told me they would reformat it) and was able to download my 2856 songs I have burned to iTunes and my Photos.

I found a place (on the web of course) that will repair my iPod for a fair price (Apple wants me to throw it away - I guess they subscribe to "Run To Failure") and I bought a replacement mobile phone on eBay for $35.

Not feeling so bad about my Gadgets any more.

Welcome back Terry,
Hope you're experience was worth the lost electronics.
My best to everyone.

Ahmed,

Good to hear from you and yes - my travels always provide learning and mind expansion. I plan to report some of that in the coming weeks and months.

I hope to get to your region within the next year as well.

I hope all is well for you.

Terry O
