New v. Old

Much of what I have posted here so far is my struggle to use new things.  I like new.  However, my imagination continually stays ahead of the reality of what is available.  I need to go back to embracing the easy.

Old: Windows, Palm, Yahoo, wired Internet.

New: Linux, iPhone, Google, wireless Internet.

I tried all the new and returned to the old primarily because the new did not live up to expectations.  I still want the new to come true but I do not want to spend so much energy chasing it.  New should be easy, too, certainly easier than old.  Otherwise, what's the point?
