General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

How can something so small cost so much? My daughter has just dragged me around the shops with her Christmas money in search of one of these things.

I don't understand why in our house we have got TVs (3)/VCR's/Paytv/PCs(2)/Playstation 2/DVD players/CD players (3 at last count only one of which works) and yet we have to have something else to play music on? Have we gone gadget mad? Is it just me or is everybody else the same?

Does anybody else have the same trouble with CD players? I seem to remember when they first appeared how we were told that they were going to replace Record Players and were so fantastic. Just about everybody I know has one that doesn't work. Ripped off or what?

I just wish I had shares in Apple, I can't see where all that money can go into something smaller than a cigarette packet. At least in a couple of weeks I will be able to work one that's something to look forward to - always wanted to hear more of that rap music.

I am beginning to sound like my mother, that's a worry. Now where did I put that list with my New Year's Resolutions on?
