The SW User Group Conference in San Diego was great. Couldn’t find a nicer group of people. Some were techies. Some were just learning. All were friendly. So friendly in fact that they shared a bad cold with me. Actually, I don’t know what hit me, but right after the conference I came down with a doozy of a cold. Email confirmed that several others also contracted the same condition. Good thing I have a laptop computer to use while I nurse this cold from my easy chair.

One high tech product that also helped me through the cold was the ZVOX Mini that ZVOX sent me to review. It had been on the shelf for awhile and now I wish I had looked at it sooner. It is a small self-contained speaker system. I took it out of the box, hooked up my iPod with the included cable, and was able to listen to podcasts and music which made me feel much better. Couldn’t be easier to use and it sounds great!
