5 Gifts That Will Shock a Techie

I bought one ATT go-phone, for a visiting friend to use. BUT, to register a cell phone number I have to give one of my credit card. And, then I need to buy $5, $10 or $25 card: they do have a TIME LIMIT of 1 month, 2 months and 3 months. And, if I don't use the cell phone for 3 months then the cell phone number will be deactivated. So, at the end, the go-phone (ATT) costs as much as the regular phone with limited time! NOT a very good deal!

I am a quad , if it wasnt for electronic gadgets my life would be set back 50 to 75 years. My wheelchair alone is a godsend and remotes that let me turn on and off just about anything electric there is. I believe that I'm very lucky for whats been developed so far. So give me more!

just a correction regarding the hauppauge hd pvr. The device does not work with 1080p but rather 720p and 1080i.

It's a good thing I don't have the money to purchase a fraction of the electronics I want because I wouldn't have a life. Or a savings account for that matter. This year I plan on purchasing a go-phone because I've never had a cell phone of my own. At least I know I will be getting a good deal! Merry Christmas everybody! And don't use credit cards!

as far as i am concerened and truth is NO two people are alike, with or without gadgets because ever since the tv has taken over as the american centerpiece,And the computer is the pony express! We need technology in this abundant World and I Thank GOD for Blessing Our Country That we Have had the privledge of Waking up to Fireworks and not Bombs. So if anyone out there does not want to live in a world were we can communicate w/the click of a button plz send all your unwanted items to someone who will put them to good use!
