Don't forget good hand-eye coordination. Boss's son was playing with someone in a different state. Dunno if I would give in, maybe subsidise some of it (would be lucky if it was $200, whatever I give as an alowance would facter in, more allowance less subsising. Of course if it is a 15, 16 yr old, GET A JOB! LOL), but you better bet an hour or two after homework. I would want the kid getting some exersise and spending time with the family and have another life with friends, not machines. -----Original Message----- From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Russ Blakeman Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 7:10 PM To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [CTS] Re: XBox 360 Mommy and Daddy of course who would rather spend $400 to keep the kids out of their face than to spend an hour or a day with their kids. > -----Original Message----- > From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Cuffy > Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 5:39 PM > To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [CTS] Re: XBox 360 > > > Where in hell are these kids getting $400 to buy these things ? > > ================= > > Russ Blakeman wrote: > > >And to think I've had my hands on dozens of them doing upgrades > of the kiosk > >machines at area Walmart stores - they don't seem like much more > than a PC > >with high end sound and graphics to me though. > > > > > > > > > >>-----Original Message----- > >>From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >>[mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Cuffy > >>Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 3:35 PM > >>To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >>Subject: [CTS] XBox 360 > >> > >> > >>http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,123634,tk,dn112205X,00.asp > >> > >>People waited 13 1/2 hours to buy one of these at midnight last night. > >>Long lines with lots of kids and then the store only had 48 of them > >>when the doors opened.
