What is… a Petey-A (PDA)?
(0)I told my friends that I was doing the What is… articles for Witchy Tech. One of them said she had a question about a gadget:
“Witchy, one of my friends has this little thing that you use with a stylus. It had her phone numbers, calendar… it was like a mini-organizer! It wasn’t a phone, I know that. What was it?”
The short answer: It’s a PDA, which means “Personal Digital Assistant.” It is your address book, appointment calendar, note pad, and yes, sometimes phone, all on a little gadget that is about the size of a pocket calculator.
The long answer: Truly, the PDA is a marvelous thing. It’s a little mini-computer that fits in the palm of your hand.

Your First Digital Camera
(4)There is a wide range of digital cameras available. The prices can vary from $20 to $1000. When you go to the store and actually see them on display or in the boxes, they all just kind of blend together… you don’t even know what to ask for!
Here is my suggestion for your first digital camera: Get a lower-but-not-lowest end camera for your first. Do not spend more than $200 or less than $50. Here’s why: Read the rest of this entry »
