Wii Shortage

We promised our son a Wii for Christmas but little did I know that they were still in such short supply. They were going for outrageous prices on eBay or you had to buy a bundle to get one from one of the other stores which I wasn't willing to do. I missed a shipment at Bestbuy once by about 20 minutes which was the closest I got to buying one at the regular price. This week I looked on eBay again and though there are still a bunch of hoarders trying to make a buck with grossly inflated prices I did find a guy who had 47 units and was selling them for $299 BuyItNow with free shipping. So for about $30 more than I would have paid in the store after tax my sons Wii is finally here.

Many an hour was spent in these text based adventure games during my earlier years on a home built Heath/Zenith Z100 computer.

A Different Generation

I'm not a blogger but a recent post in the forums made me think about this.

Recently I was driving my 15 year old daughter and a friend of hers who had just moved up to North Carolina to the movies. On the way she was commenting about how small the town was where she had moved to. I asked jokingly if it was anything like Mayberry and they were like "Where?" I said, "You know, The Andy Griffith Show, Aunt Bea, Opie, Barney Fife?". They are like "Who?". I just said "Never mind"......
