My father used to work for Sinclair in the Spectrum days. I used to
get a free rubber keyboard every time the hamster ate it. Something in
the rubber used to smell real tasty to pet rodents.

Got a "build it yourself" digital watch kit somewhere, looked like
something out of star trek and came with  tube of glue.

I won't be buying the new ps3, I'm always about three years behind the
technology curve for consoles, only bought a ps2 last year, cost forty
quid with two controllers and a bunch of games. Bargain.

Would be tempted by the Wii, like the idea of smashing my house up in
an attempt to serve an ace. A friend got one for christmas and created
avatars for his whole family and then set them to roam the internet.
His small kids loved the fact that their little Mii could pop up in
someone elses game the other side of the world. All very japanese.

Bet the PS3 doesn't have Horace goes skiing.
