Technical things I do know:How to use my PC - all over that one.
How to create complex documents ready for printing.
How to start a blog.
How to design and have fabric printed.
How to use my digital camera.
How to turn on my TV, DVD and set top box using 3 different remotes.
Technical things I have had a MAJOR issues with:
My iPod. Downloading songs. Downloading podcasts.
It all started a few years back when an iPod Nano entered the house. I successfully put 8 Kylie tracks on, 3 from Incognito and even a few podcasts. All good. Then I hit a speed bump in my technical knowledge and the iPod and I had a major falling out. I went and bought myself a 'walkman' with AM radio and was happy to listen to ABC local radio on my walks.
Recently, my 8 year old son saved his pocket money up and decided to buy an MP3 player. I tried to talk him into buying many other things, but he had his mind made up. It was time to face my fears and attempt to load songs on for him. An hour later we had success. The triumph and relief was great. That was a few months ago.
Today, I dusted of my old iPod and tried again. Easy. Podcasts galore. I will have to walk all afternoon just to listen to them. What was I worried about, or has technology just caught up with my limited abilities?

Oh goodness. I think I need to catch up. I haven't got an Mp3. I don't really need one but would like to stick something in my ears and drown out the doof, doof, doof of the teens music.
iPods had a bit of a reputation a few years ago, especially with PCs and I remember an extremely technologically savvy friend of mine being driven to despair over his. I suspect that technology has improved and thank goodness for that! Now if I could only get my walkman phone to talk to my Mac... :P
