Just before Easter I purchased a HP iPAC hw 6965 PDA. The reason for doing so was the inclusion of an inbuilt GSP, TOM TOM software and ability to add EziExplorer and other mapping software.

Here is the story so far:

1.The TOM TOM connection code is blank. Apparently I have to wait a week or so to be blessed with this information.

2.Within 15 minutes of the purchase, I was informed by a colleague that his four month old unit was for sale at a saving of $400.

The unit is obviously a technology marvel. However, the gobbledygook and use of acronyms accompanying this product is only useful for those with an IQ of 250!

After (self) admitting I was a technology Moron, the “know it all” Son in law was called in to connect the unit to a myriad of stuff.

The afternoon started off well with a couple of quiet drinks, while he worked diligently with the unit and its connection with my PC. After two hour I started to notice aggressive body behaviour and a building sense of frustration.

As a caring, sharing Father in Law, I suggested he stop fooling around and “just do it”. This was met with $@*^%$#+. We are no longer talking to each other.

Luckily I’ll be able to hand the unit over to a colleague at work to set the unit up.

The next stage is the GSP setup and additional software. I’m not a negative person, but I do have an overwhelming sense of doom (at this stage I’m sure Sandman is overcome with mirth).

The old map and compass is starting to look good……!

LOL
