Sorry to have missed you when you were in Oakhurst. I live in North Fork, just 13 miles out, but Oakhurst is the nearest little town with more than a Gas Station Mini Mart

Oh gosh would one of your electronically savvy people like to come and spend some time with me? I just bought a new cell phone and am totally crippled. I have an Ipod and mp3 player that I've never been able to work. I have cords and do dads but no music! :(I'll feed you well and even let you shop my stash!

maryellen, do you have a Best Buy near? You can sign up for their free instructional classes on how to set up and use your iPod, etc.

I just bought an Ipod and a speaker...hope all goes well! I have lots of tech savvy young people I can ask if I run into trouble..but I think I've got this! Thanks, all.

My MP3 player has ear buds, but it also has a speaker that can be used. It is just a wee bit larger than a ping pong ball. I can pin it onto my clothes or hang it from my glasses bow. I liked it, but everyone else in the room can hear it, too. If that's OK with them and with you, then you're good to go.
