"For some reason everything else gets tiny, but portable radios get enormous.” Kathleen Turner in Peggy Sue Got Married

Those words may have been true 20-odd years ago, but not any more. Today’s digital nomads prefer things—like MP3 players, mobile phones, and notebook computers—to be small. The smaller the better. If you have a geek on the go on your holiday shopping list, there are way too many options for gifts. This TechTip offers a few ideas.

  1. Hey Guys,

    Love your stuff!  Have a problem with your shipping costs… I bought 3 game players and should have ordered some SD’s but I forgot.  Now if I order a tiny little 1 G SD the minimum shipping is $10.00!  What’s up?

  2. Hello Folks! 
    I like your attitude and Love what you offer. 
    I do a fair bit of field work, and HAVE to move every two to four years.

    Remind your folks to tell people: If you want your expensive tech-toys to keep up with you, never mind being able to actually USE the darn things when you need them, Get carry cases.  In my case airtight and crushproof is a must.
    Had a guy in a local coffee shop ask me, “Is your computer worth that much?” I replied, “How much is YOUR data and an uninterrupted work flow worth to you?” Next I saw him he had a hard case.
    Spending 10% of the unit’s price on insurance against spills, drops, dust, and NOT re-creating your favorite machine seems like an acceptable price.
