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.

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 »
