My Gmail

I have two Gmail accounts.  I used to have more but decided two is enough. The first account was great.  I never got any SPAM, but then I made a BIG mistake.  I foolishly entered this address on a site for Coke Rewards. They didn't tell me that their 'partners' might sell my email address, and I guess it was my fault for not guessing they might,  Soon my inbox was totally swamped with SPAM.

Eventually Gmail's filters improved to the point all that stuff went into the SPAM folder, but boy did I learn a lesson the hard way! In the future, use a throwaway email address for sites like this!

Now I use my Gmail accounts to sign up for stuff I don't want coming into my main email.  I guess you could say I now have two throwaway email accounts.

But I have to say, the SPAM filter on Gmail accounts is the best bar none.

My iPad

Tablets, tablets, everywhere.  So many to choose from! A lot of them are really nice and not to pricey either. Most of them are able to do just what you want. Surf the web, read email, play games, and on and on.  I like to read ebooks. I have a Nook app and a Kindle app and I also read some magazines.

I got my first iPad when there was only one version, just plain iPad.  Then there was iPad 2, but I didn't see any reason to jump right in and get that one. It did have a built-in camera, but I have a camera, so I didn't think I needed it.  After all these iPads are not exactly cheap.

But then they came out with an iPad with a retina display. I looked at one in a display at BestBuy and I decided right then I needed one of these babies! My eyes are not what they used to be and anything that helps me see better is definitely something to consider.
