TOYS I LOVE, TOYS I LUST AFTER

High definition TVs are worth every penny. Even the travel shows are fun to watch. A DVR (digital video recorder) changes the TV experience. Suddenly, it is not always a waste of time.

It is important to get a DVR with lots of hard drive space. I am unable to keep an entire season of 'Burn Notice' on my DVR and still tape the shows I want to watch. I had to decide to wait for the DVD of 'Eureka'.

I lust after the new little iPod. I am held back by the price of songs. One dollar for a song sounds fair until you consider that it would cost a thousand dollars to fill up the new iPod.

Games can be great family fun. My children and I played all of the 'King's Quest' games, and all of the 'Monkey Island' games. We started with 'Loom' on the first model of the IBM color PC. The best game was 'Seventh Guest' as it allowed you to skip some puzzles and took all three of us to solve.

I think the new Wii sounds fun, especially the exercise game.

I cannot play games anymore, because I am too slow on the keyboard to play the games requiring quick reaction. My children grew up and are no longer around to kill the bad guy at the end of the game.
