I love Bluetooth
This is one of those rare occasions when I feel technically competent.
I’d just purchased two books from eReader, (Rita Mae Brown’s Cat on the Scent and Pawing Through The Past, books #7 and #8 in her Mrs Murphy series, if anyone is curious), downloaded them to my MacBook and needed to transfer them to my Palm TX PDA.
Now, the usual way to transfer the two files would be to take out the memory card from the TX, put it in a card reader, plug the card reader into the MacBook, copy the files to the card, and reverse the process. But there’s an easier way.
Both the MacBook and Palm TX have Bluetooth (short range wireless). After pairing the two devices so they can “see” each other to exchange files, I proceeded to send the first file from the MacBook to the TX. A bleep from the TX told me the connection was successful. Within minutes, both books were on the TX, ready to be read.
No wires. No popping of memory card in and out of the two devices. No plugging in of card reader, etc.
I feel quite accomplished this morning.
