I went hiking with my family at Castlewood State Park this afternoon. It was so fun! We took this 7-mile long trail, and got some of the coolest views! I love it! I gotta go back often.

So I bought the "ice" colour, it looks cool. This thing is really really cool. This stylus my parents bought me works well too, the stock stylus is too small, might give hand cramps. Handwriting recognition is really tight, after an hour of entering all of my schedule, I've gotten totally used to it. The PC Sync is totally awesome, except that now I might be forced to use a more standard e-mail client if I want mail functions. Becky is totally cool, they should make the next version compatible with Palm sync. Only complaint I would have is that all the Palms (Palm Pilot, Visor) use reverse backlit displays. The old Palm Pilot Professional used a regular backlit, which is what Peyton has, and it looks really nice. This reverse backlit thing is useless unless it's totally dark, in in-between situations, you still can't see a thing. But this thing, overall, is tight!

There were the awards, of course, and Peyton got the Lois Percival Award.

Woah! The HandSpring Visor is the tightest PDA! It's only $150, and it has module support! You can plug in MP3 decoders, GPS, digital cameras, anything! Hot swap! And it runs on Palm OS! It syncs with Palm Pilots! I need to buy one!
Somebody put the school up for sale in the St. Louis Post Dispatch as a senior prank.

I bought a Macintosh Plus today from a teacher at school. $25. New, unopened box. Wow, some teacher supposedly had it sitting around all this time and never bothered to touch it. The thing is 13 years old. This can be worth something. It's pretty tight, it was the first computer with SCSI, and 1MB RAM. Wow. No hard drive, though, but that can't be problematic, there's SCSI. You can hook up SCSI hard drives, scanners, whatever. Oh wait, CD-ROMS! That's crazy. Here is a specs sheet. $2600. Dang, those things were expensive. Owell, time to keep this baby in its box and let the value build up.
