    What is it about gadgets that make my eyes tingle. Like remote controlled cars, I prefer them to driving my own car. Even recently I gave my nephew a present of a remote control spaceship (It just really rolls around in circles) but all my other nephews (8 months and 1 1/2) were glued to it, so amazed by it, whereas my niece didnt even blink towards it. Anyhow, remote controlled fast cars are my favorite, how about you?

    My MP3 player is without doubt my favourite gadget. A distant second would be my plasma ball...

    Us guys just love gadgets because at heart, we're all still big kids.

    It's much better than spending lots of money on shoes and handbags.

    I've spent three times what I have on clothes/shoes this year on computer hardware.

    Hmph - have always been into gadgets - started off using my brothers computer when he was not, started programming on the C64. In terms of gadgets I love my Mecanno remote control car, my iPod(s), my computers...still saving up for a decent 3G phone.

    Everything I own are gadgets of some sort. May fave though are my two radio controlled planes. Also have a boat and hovercraft, but they're not as much fun.

    Probably goes back to when I was kid and could never get redio controlled toys as they were too expensive and my ould lad is a tight git. But now I have everything, because I can :D Still waiting for the day I can get the big Dragon Zoid that was the leader of the red guys. Always wanted that but was never allowed :(

    When I was young, in Venture Scouts, I was nicknamed Inspector Gadget. I always had everything we needed, go go gadget style. One day I produced a roll of tin foil from the sleve of my jacket, which was handy as we needed tin foil at the time.
