Addendum to previous blog

I have more to say about this little electronic marvel; I call it "RT"... short for Ruby Tunes... Ruby because of its color & tunes because of what it does. We're learning new things about it most every day. For instance, the first time I was 'loading' music onto it (with Steven's help), it went into a "synchronizing" frenzy & when it finished, had used up one of the four gigs of space it has. That is a bunch in terms of memory! We were puzzled until we noticed that while it was fooling around inside my computer, it had grabbed a bunch of pictures & documents which it can display on its 1.2 x 1.6 inch window. I haven't looked at all of that yet, but did see (and will keep) the photo you see here...my beloved being Mr. Texas a few years back (well, actually 50 years ago). We have loaded music from Patsy Cline to Pavaroti, Elton to Elvis and we're not finished yet! We still have CDs and LP albums (from the 50's) which, with the help of yet another electronic gadget, we will convert to CDs & then transfer to Ruby Tunes. Occasionally when we are listening, a strange song will come out of nowhere (we finally figured out that some 'music' was preloaded on RT). I'm pretty sure it is Heavy Metal since I think it is the sound one would hear immediately after a musician had dropped a heavy metal cannonball on his foot... (no offense, Kim K). So, we have some clean up to do on the files...next project is to find the delete button on little ol' RT so we can truly personalize our music.
