Yes, I've observed the pioneering spirit revived... Apart from the fact that I really, really don't need one, I can honestly say that I'd *like* one.

Because I do love them so. (hmmm. Newstap -does- get the quoting wrong on the last line) I can seriously see myself persuading Dad to get one for Mum. It's truly an Everyman device.

Waiting for the second generation weren't you? I object to the implication that I have some sort of 'will power'. Besides, there was a...er...a temporal anomaly! Yes, that's it.
