    After Hoursies....after watching tv on a plasma screen i was just wondering how you's have upgraded and dealt with new technologies..

    ie are all your tv's plasmas or do you have a few of those massive square ones like i do in some rooms in the house?

    Do you still listen to a few tunes on your walk man or is it just an ipod these days?

    anyone still using dial internet out there?

    is everyone caught up in xbox's and nintendo wii's or does anyone still whip out their gameboy or snes?

    think in are house its a bit inbetween, a bit past and present going on if you know what i mean!

    what about you's???

    I still have one foot in the past(better than the grave i suppose!)

    4 yr old "big box" tv in sitting room with sat tv, video/dvd recorder, hifi with usb/cd/dvd function and a cordless phone lol

    15" lcd tv in bedroom (with indoor aerial), dvd player,video,wii, playstation 1,and wall hanging stereo with a cassette function:eek: and a corded phone!
    Have a couple of personal cd players and cassette players around somewhere also, though i use one of 2 mp3 players.

    PC is windows 2000, but in 2 weeks i'll finally have my eeepc 904ha with XP!

    I tend to keep things till they break! Though i still have a cambridge z88 which i was given years ago which bit the dust long ago!

    Had nothing but dial up when in Ireland but my Mam tells me they have wireless internet now. CRT telly is used for playing the odd Wii game and using for the old consoles I have, LCD in the main room. Cheap MP3 player, no frills just what I want. (generic-ey brand)

    Two 42" plasmas in the front room between three of us living here. For some reason it never occurred to us that two TVs of the same model in the same room might cause a certain problem with remote controls... *sigh*

    The only thing bleeding on the bleeding edge of technology is your wallet :(

    I'm up to date with the recession and the reason that this "look at all the stuff I have as a status symbol" is one of the many reasons why we're just useless sheep.

    Misanthropy. It has many uses.

    But technology. I do think that our generation are going to be the first ol fogies who will be able to cope with anything that comes our way. Unless my rheumatic hand misses the touch screen remote and accidentally flicks on some dirty scheisse pron while the grandkids are over. That'll learn em.
