PS...P
My son Stephen, because he has the fortunate situation of being a babysitter for people in N. Evanston and Wilmette, has recently purchased a PSP handheld video game and media player. It is put out by Sony Playstation, and it is very cool. It actually has great graphics, unbelievable for a handheld.
I think he is tiring of my speeches, “Well, I remember when Pong came out, and the only other games that we had in the house were on boards or the original Atari system” (I realize that this last statement dates me). I cannot believe the stuff that is coming out for video gamers. It is unreal. I wouldn’t mind having one of these units. It could sure make a 4 hour plane ride go by a lot faster. Since, however, we recently purchased our post-graduation vacation package to Orlanda, our U2 tickets (Michelle’s Xmas and birthday present), and, of course, our plane tickets and hotel stay in Princeton for graduation, I don’t think anything costing over $5 will be coming my way any time soon.
