Cover Song - Smells Like Teen Spirit performed by Robyn Adele Anderson

This means that when I periodically clean out my storage bins, cupboards and drawers, I have a history of finding technology that looks like Noah carried it down the ramp and off of the ark. The Palm device is approximately 10 years old and the phones are perhaps a couple of years older than that.
