04/64 My friend needs a gift idea for her boyfriend. She wants to spend
<< $200 and wants something kinda cool for a semi-geek guy. She
thought about a CD burner but wasn't really sure about how to
install it and whether there would be enough power on his machine,
so now she's looking for something else. Any ideas?
\_ Sex. And it'll definitely cost you less than $200.
\_ Yeah, she was giving it away free last weekend at the party.
\_ If that's what she thinks he wants, just hand him the box. He'll
install it. I'd be *very* unhappy to come home and find out my
wife had decided to add new hardware to my machine without telling
me first. Some surprises are bad surprises.
\_ Does he have a DVD player? If not, get one.
\_ boycott the MPAA, please.
\_ MPAA is as anal about video casette, and DVD is just such
higher quality. Live with it.
\_ hey man, I didn't say to go out and buy a VHS instead...
\_ If he likes TV and she's willing to go a bit higher, get a TiVo.
They're awesome, especially for people who work later than their
favorite shows, or who get called at home while watching TV.
\_ How about a Palm Pilot? You can find decent ones for $140-$240,
and with a coupon you can get $25 off (like at http://amazon.com)
\_ Also check a recent Good Guys or COMP-USA advertisement flyer
for some ideas.
\_ How about a kite? There are some pretty damn sophisticated ones there
\_ Dreamcast is $200...who gives a damn if ps2 is coming out in
just a few months?
\_ Soul Calibur! |
