First, if you haven't done so already, you need to turn those CDs into MP3s. This you can do effortlessly with free jukebox software like Real One (at real.com) Then spend some time listening closely to the tracks. Which opposites seem to attract? Don't worry about matching tempos or even keys. You can take care of that later...
...resist. It is the only PDA with a 2-megapixel digital camera built in (with flash and zoom!). The large swivel screen displays 65,000 colors--great for running miniature slide shows on the go. And I loved the gorgeous stereo sound on the headsets when I played MP3s. The only things missing on this $800 device are easy-to-use Web browsing and e-mail. Synching up with a PC to communicate is an ordeal that few should have to endure. If you want to go wireless, you'll have to either go through a Bluetooth-enabled phone...
...first. The cheap, plastic stylus and the miniature virtual keyboard that pops up onscreen do not immediately inspire confidence. But with a little practice, anyone with good eyesight and a steady hand can get used to writing with it.

In this day and age, this disability seems to be the equivalent of not being able to feed myself. I have no problem keeping up with musical trends. It’s musical formats that get me in trouble. In my salad...
...media to your TV or stereo. It could take the place of every component in your entertainment system. Hewlett-Packard, Gateway and Cyberpower are also building PCs dressed up in consumer-electronics drag. They even come with the all-important remote control, so you can manage and play CDs, MP3s, DVDs and music files and record TV programs from your couch. Don't believe these devices will sell? They already do. In techno-savvy Japan, a recent survey showed that 50% of desktop PCs sold in January 2003 came with built-in hardware and software, allowing them to handle...
