The Blackberry Age

Isn’t it amazing how in this day and age of Blackberries, blogging on the go and being wired 24-7, some people have just discovered Skype?!

Today, in a momentous event, my dinosaur colleague finally had to give in to technology and download Skype. All simply because another colleague in the UK was getting really tired of having to pay huge international phone bills and threatened to stop picking up his calls! So, he was finally dragged, kicking and screaming, into The Blackberry Age!

Best of all, I had to download it for him, guide him through setting up his account and teach him how to use it and now he’s pleased as punch and is trying to add everyone on so that he can call them on his funky new mic and headphones! *rolls eyes* Maybe I’d better not introduce the concept of PC Security Cameras for his home so he can keep an eye on his daughter or maid! No prizes for guessing what he’ll probably be doing all day! :)

    I’m not addicted to my Blackberry ‘cos it’s all for work… am I abnormal ah?

    PE says: You’re perfectly normal! Those who are permanently attached to their Blackberries are the abnormal ones! But ooh…you get a Blackberry for work?!

    I don’t own a Blackberry Handheld YET. My hands are full already as it is, holding other things!

    PE says: Haha…would you want a Blackberry though?!

    I love blackberries, especially blackberry jam!

    On a serious note, what’s the diff between blackberry and pda?

    PE says: So do I, Aunty Judy! :) Um…I don’t own one so the only diff I know is that a Blackberry is usually wired so you can get your emails etc in it while I’m not sure if you can with a PDA.

    I am in the same boat I could not live without my blackberry. Although I too love blackberry jam!

    btw for London to cut back on expenses eat at the Grocery stores, seriously they have really good fresh food at awesome prices compared to the restuarants. Alot healthier too!
