Welcome to the Christmas 2015 show mainly giving you ideas for what to pick up around town before Christmas. These are geek-friendly so they may work for you or others. Have fun and listen to the podcast while you are here for even more information
We did get into the first web page ever displayed yesterday, December 20, 1990. It was only seen by local viewers.
The real public site was on August the next year. The original code was never captured for the future; however, here is a very close to exact recreation.

- Smart Watches ~$250 (Wearable Tech) LG Watch R – lg.com
Motorola Moto 360 – Motorola.com
Pebble – pebble.com
- Fitness Trackers (Wearable Tech) Fitbit – fitbit.com
Jawbone, Garmin and many more.
- Cameras (Point n shoot) or Digital SLRs From $100 to $17,995 (used Mamiya DM56 last year it was $19,995)
- Tablets Lower Prices may reflect older versions
- Surface Pads (Microsoft) $900
- iPads (Apple) $600
- Androids (anyone except MS and Apple) – $300
Samsung Galaxy Tablets seem to be the most talked about, depending on whose review you see, but it is also has one of the higher price points.
- SSD Hard Drive These drives are replacing the regular disk hard drives we have been using since circa 1980.
They are digital so they boot almost immediately and are much faster and retrieving and storing data.
Many makes and sizes; however, now you can get good ones on sale starting at around $65 for 248GB.
