How did they know?! 

Do you know someone who clings to her Filofax like Linus to his blanket?  Someone who still considers that computer from 1997 that fills practically an entire room "brand new?"  Someone who is great at emailing old friends across the country to vent about her latest foibles as a parent, but still carries a cell phone the size of a brick and can't find that scribbled grocery list anywhere?  Is your best friend the only person you know who still listens to cassettes on a boom box or watches movies on a Betamax? 

And ouch, admit it:  your cryptic system of emailing yourself little snippets of stories and lists and pictures doesn't exactly amount to what you'd envisioned as a proper baby book for your little darling. 

Do you need a tech makeover?  Do you know someone else who needs one?  

Ta-da!!  Intel to the rescue!!
