If you've been following my Technical Saga...this is probably part 3...further than You and I ever intended this story to go.
But for the sake of brevity...here goes.
This is the back of a digital picture frame. I've used it in the past to retrieve photos from my camera.
It takes a POWER cord and a USB cord.
A particular USB cord...not just any cord.
I think (but am not certain) this little barrel shaped HOOTIS...
has something to do with how it works...like video vs. audio or something technical that I am in no way knowledgeable enough to explain.
My son called me this morning on his way to work; here is the conversation.
SON: G'morning Mom.
MOM: G'morning. Going to work?
SON: Yes. Called to tell you- go out to the mail box, right now, before the mail runs. Gotta Go... luv ya. Bye.
MOM: Ok... Me 2 You. Bye.
:)
Now-- don't get me wrong this is exciting. Almost as exciting as Wi-Fi and Bigger,Stronger, Faster BIONIC computer...
But...there's more. I'll be back with a surprise soon...I've been gifted something I thought I'd never want. I haven't even gotten to tell you about!
It's almost like Christmas around here.
Trust in the LORD with you heart; and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.
~ Proverbs 3: 5-6

Glad you are able to get your computer stuff dialed in. I need a new one but alas no money for that.
What a saga! Crazy what we have to go through for technology sometimes.
That little barrel shaped hootis is a ferrite bead. It is used to filter noise from the signals in the cord. Love ya.
hmmm... an Anonymous LOVE YA comment.
Is that code for... "GET READY I'M ABOUT TO INCREASE YOU I.Q." ?
THANK YOU LEE MAJORS.
:)Pat

No fair to leave us hanging. It must be a good surprise.
Let us in on the surprise....quick!
And sounds like your son is very thoughtful.
What's this? Technical stuff.....you're going above and beyond the call of duty Pat....good thing for smart sons....mine keeps us humming in the computer world and our other son keeps us cool in the summer and warm in the winter....but just in case...our daughter keeps us insured!!...lol...
take care, Mel's Designs 'n Harmony
Oh, can't wait to see what this is.... I would have called that barrel thing a "barrel thing" and I had no idea what it did. See, once again I learn something by stopping by here. This was less stressful than learning about chicken plucking and rat traps.... Ann
You have left us all hanging....!!!!
I hate having to deal with all this techy stuff, my job that ended in June had tier 1 troubleshooting this kind of stuff...I hated it!!! We had a step by step process, and the customer had no clue I didn't know what I was talking about, then I would send yo next level support!
