We were going to save our Valentine's dinner until the weekend - planned a trip to New Orleans for some nice spicey curry. It's about a 2 hour drive from where we live in Mississippi.

My wife had a crappy day at work, so we decided to go to New Orleans after all.

Some quick research, and I had 3 Indian restaurants lined up and entered into my favourites on the Wayfinder software I have installed on my E62. Off we went.

Found the restaurant easy enough, after a couple of false turns -

"In 200 yards, turn left: .. Turn Left HERE"

"That wasn't 200 yards! Damn! Missed the turn - never mind, she'll reroute us ..."

"Make a u-turn here"

"It says no u-turns here!"

... etc ;-)

Food was fantastic - if you are ever in New Orleans and you need some spicey (not crazy hot, sadly!) food, try Nirvana on Magazine Street - http://www.insidenirvana.com/

Anyway - I need to upgrade my E62, and the E61i would be a perfect upgrade for me :-)

Electronic all the way! I'm reading/commenting now using my pda.

I've been reading ebooks since my first pda 5 years ago, and get through, i guess, 1 -3 e books a week.

The last few magazines i bought eventually went into the trash half read... Can't remember the last non-technicalpaper book I picked up.

Oh - what's this silliness about saving trees? the trees are only grown because they are to be turned into paper... !
