It can take you almost anywhere. Through it, you can follow your interest and possibly transform your life. I think too many people go to college because someone else thinks they should. This is not necessarily a bad a reason, as you may find that once there, you discover am interest that you never knew existed. But if you feel very strongly that you don't think you'll get much out of college -- my suggestion to you is this -- don't go. Go out and experience the world some. You may find at some point you want to go back to college and at that point, I think you will get far more out of your experience. — — As for me, I went to college (Brown '83+) directly from high school, took a semester off during school, and an extra semester in school. I then took a year off before attended medical school (NYU '89) and eventually got a masters in information science (University of Pittsburgh '95) so I...

You simply plug the unit into your USB port via the supplied short cord, to charge the unit. There are series of lights, like the bars on your cell phone, that light up to show you at a glance how much "juice" is in the unit. The really cool thing is that the same cord you use to connect the unit to your USB port is now used to connect your GearJuice to your cell phone, MP3 player, or other device to charge it by simply plugging the USB end into the GearJuice and the other end into the appropriate tip adaptor for your device (it comes with 7 commonly used tips and there are, by my count at least 40 other tips available). I've charged up my cell phone several times before needing to re-charge my GearJuice. Finally, there is a nice soft carrying pouch that holds the unit and adaptor tips. I do wish they had made a separate pocket within the pouch for the adaptor tips, because it seems like the tips...

It looks cool, works great, and is easy to use. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is a really tight fit in my cigarette lighter plug-in thingie (you know what I mean). I have to really push on it to get it in or pull really hard to get it out and I'm concerned about breaking the unit. I think this problem may improve with...
