    Yeah, 'trust but verify' . . . solid advice any time,

    any place.

    Boy, you got that right! The imaging, computing and

    sensing technology in 2011 kids video games is more

    sophisticated than the-best-we-knew-how-to-do on the

    B-52 in 1960.



    I love this business . . .

All kidding aside, we did have write-ups, but the overall feeling

    Knowing guy on the other side of the wall has sticks

    as big as yours can have a profound effect on one's

    fortitude and dedication. Thanks for reminding us.

Roger that!  I am convinced that this hobby has kept  my 71 year old grey matter from eroding away - trying to stay up with the latest  changes in just cell phones, Tablet computer, and other consumer products, much  less microchips, lasers, solar cells, etc, etc, etc, is impossible, but certain  is exciting to try.
