An Ode to the Technology Age


I'm off to Albury / Wodonga tomorrow on my first overnight country sales trip. Three things that I'm so glad I have that will make the trip easier;

1) GPS navigation.


There is no way of explaining how much of a boon my Navman is. It makes life sooooo much easier, especially now that I'm on the road.

2) Direct-line in-car MP3 player jack technomabob


Nearly 3,000 songs at my fingertips, without any of the static that comes with my battery-operated transmitter? With full bass effect? Awesome!

3) Cruise control


Simone taught me how to use this, and now I can't wait to get out on the freeways to zip along at a steady 100kph!

I can't imagine what life was like on the road before all these high-tech creature comforts. PK, how did you do this whole rep thing in the analogue age? It's mind-boggling!

If I have access and can be bothered, I'll make sure to post a blog from the road. Hopefully it'll be more interesting than this one!
