I don't know who these people are and how they can afford such luxuries. I'd love a flat-screen TV for myself! But no way Jose, will they ever get TVs in their rooms. I keep trying to tell them how I had to entertain myself as a kid: no DVDs, email, Interne, cable, game consoles, cable TV, etc., but they just can't imagine a world so primitive. Hell, I would read reference books when I was bored as a kid! The Time-Life science series rocked. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
