To be honest, I’ve had this Sony Digital Photo Frame (it's the 10-inch S Series DPF-D1020 model) set up and standing on my desk next to my laptop for the last month. It would stare at me blankly countless times a day and I’d curse myself and vow to start it up and check it out. 

So I’d plug it in. Some music would start up out of nowhere, usually while the boyfriend would be trying to watch something on TV and I’d wind up frantically trying to figure out how to turn off the sound. Then, out of frustration I’d just simply unplug it. Only to be accused by it’s blank, baleful eye. Again. I’d open the manual, start scanning the various dense pages, get to the page that says “Identifying the parts” and I’d be daunted all over again.

It comes so impressively packaged, it looks beautiful, sleek and black and shiny (even my pooch was admiring it), but I’m afraid, right now, I can’t tell you any more.

Though I’m motivated. I’ll put a twinkle in its eye yet (I hope). Check back soon.
