I got the PERFECT gift for an aging '60's dude.

Intel Pocket Concert Audio Player, 128 MB memory. Small, light, great sound... and ABSOFORKINGLUTELY skip-free, COMMERCIAL FREE music of MY choice.

Easy to take where ever I go... like on my 4 day trips.... Makes the workout time much more pleasant at the gym; no more Disco Donna Summer thumping over the speakers for the housefrau aerobic classes.

I am in HEAVEN.

Anybody remember Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young & Crazy Horse)? Hoochie Koochie Man (Steppenwolf)? Stairway to Heaven (Stairway DENIED! Led Zeppelin) Goin' Home (Ten Years After)? Voodoo Chile (Jimi Hendrix - Woodstock Cut- perhaps the 3 greatest guitar minutes in rock & roll starts about 45 seconds into that one)?

Yes... all these and MORE...many more... at MY choosing. Easy to change the playlist too.

I've been grinning all morning!

Considering this portable MP3 stuff for my nomination of "Greatest Entertainment Invention" of the Decade already.  :)

I am truly a happy man.  :D (or could you tell?)

Wow Congrats Tex on the engagement!!

I got a New Soltek KT-266a MB, Athlon XP 1800, Overclocked DDR RAM (512mg @ PC2400)and a Thermaltake Volcano 6Cu+ CPU Fan for upgrading my 'puter.  Plus I got Red Faction and Empire Earth for games.

I upgrade my computer often, but I have been married alot of years and have never needed to upgrade a thing.  I wish you same Tex in your marriage.

And San, that P vs A always scares the Sh@t out of me!! LOL  

Merry Xmas to all!!

Lessee -- I flew home to see the folks.  Got Mom a DVD player, dad some DVDs.  My haul consisted of:

1 tube of male M&Ms (half had rancid peanuts).
2 pairs of socks from JCPenney
2 dress shirts from same.
and some sort of unholy offspring of an attempt to crossbreed a superball with a car alarm.

Edit:
oh yeah, and my dad got me a "grow it yourself" parsley plant.

Haven't opened mine yet. Gotta wait for the kid to get here after 2:00 PM.

Bendover, hint on Dune Emperor, save often.  :)

Second hint, if you decide to go after one side first and ignore the other do NOT take them all the way down. You will go to the end mission which is VERY hard and it ends the game. Try to whittle one side at a time but don't wipe one out before you hit the other side. You'll miss too many missions.

Last hint, the worms can be hurt. If you bring them to 50% damage they leave and don't eat your units. They will, at times, come from directly below and in that case the units are dead. Enjoy!
