Making the world smaller

Do you ever buy or sell on the internet?  To or from other countries?

If you do, you may struggle sometimes with exchange rates.  I know I do!  And even if you’re a whizz at maths (I’m not!), it’s a problem keeping up these days with the current rate.  I know PayPal will convert it for you, but it’s so useful to get the exchange rate well before you get to the paying stage.

I came across this today: http://www.mioplanet.com/products/currencyconverter/index.htm which is a dinky little gadget you can download free.  It sits on your desktop and will convert currencies almost before you’ve typed them in, it’s that quick.

I know I sound a bit like an advert, but I love it!!  You can check instantly how much something is going to cost in your own money – and helps if you want to list something for sale on a US site like etsy.

Gadgets like this are making our world smaller – and I love it!
