You like aviation GPS? How about a car GPS? Nice to push a button in a
faraway town and get "nearest Insert your fav Resturants". Turn by
turn instructions on where to drive the courtesy car.

Jay-I found a DVD recorder that accepts all kinds of inputs at best buy
for $99.00. Records up to 6 hours on a DVD.

As for what I want, I know I'm getting something from sportys. I know
because saw the packages, and I made sure I circled the video's and
books I wanted in their catalog and showed it to the wife.

now, getting something for my WIFE is a problem. She's too busy being
back in school for hobbies, and she's not into bling, she claims she
doesn't know what she wants for Xmas. About the only thing I am getting
her, at her request, is a foot pedel for transcribing. She also wants a
floor lamp (and most them are junk). Today is my "last chance" to find
something before Xmas.

She's back in school? Then get her a gift certificate someplace where
she needs supplies, books, whatever for school.

On the other hand, a small token of bling, e.g. simple necklace
(does she prefer gold or platinum?) will usually be appropriate.

Or if she's really busy with school, a "gift cert" for a day at
a local spa for relaxation (massage, facial, lunch, etc).

And you better get her the foot pedal, too.

Give her a Llama.

Or a Llama donated in her name.

Of all the gifts we've received in the past few years, 'our cow' (donated in
our names) is the one that tickled us the most, and we still talk about to
this day.

4 Animals

A teacher asked her class, "What do you want out of life?

A little girl in the back row raised her hand an said, "All I want out

of life is four little animals, just like my Mom always says".

The teacher asked, "Really and what four little animals would that
be?"

The little girl said, "A mink on my back, a jaguar in the garage, a
tiger in the bed and a jackass to pay for all of it."

The teacher fainted.

THIS is what I want for Christmas. I didn't know they got this
advanced with these things. I bought a winded up one once when I was
in Paris.

That *is* cool. I, too, bought a wind-up version (in Wisconsin, not
France) once, and had a great time with it.

I wonder how they control direction of flight?

I think they don't. The clip was made of many short takes, and the bird
appeard to have no real directional control. On-off, a (fixed for
flight) tail setting, and the wind. When the bird is pointed right, you
flap. Otherwise you glide and wait.

Though that's an expensive way to handle RC. I lost a lot of model
rockets that way.
