Got a nice graphics card?!? If not, get a 9800-pro... Other than that, save up for the down payment on the Segway...

thanks but no thanks... ...i got a geforce 4 ti 4200 last summer when they were EXPENSIVE and the pricetag of 5 gees for a bad, lamer goped (which i own a california goped souped up). i was thinking a nice HD tv by sony or panasonic.

If you need to ask then you probably don't need whatever it is. How about making a stand against the relentless rush of consumerism and greed and think of something smaller that you really want, and which will mean something to you for years to come?

Just a thought.

Or alternatively, get a Canon Digital Elph 400 - it's a digital camera small enough to actually take with you.....

jack?s suggestion seems to be the best one. i have a digital elph and i?m very pleased with it.

on a sidenote, please refrain from putting "must read" into the heading of a thread. it?s not nice to scrounge attention, when doesn?t nec. deserve it.

I thought that he was asking us to suggest a book which he must read as it's his Birthday and he realised he'd not read a good book all year.

Says more about me than him I suppose.

You guys really scare me sometimes. ;)

I like the Digital Elph idea. I've got one and use it all the time.

Well, I liked it, but I got so much stick about it, and accusations that I was less than a man, that I decided to stick with hunky black. :p
