Son really likes the virtual appliance market from VMWare. For what we use our puters for, there seems to be just what we need as far as applications.

I don't have little ones running around. Went to a friend's house for Christmas dinner and afterwards the kids opened presents. The oldest was nine. The nine year old boy got some sort of a game and promptly went to the computer in another room. The 7-year old girl got something that I thought was a small calculator. She promptly pulled out some small headphones, plugged the A/C adapter in the wall and zoned out. The variety of electronics for kids is simply mind boggling to me. It is scary what they know at their age that I have absolutely no clue about.

Well with all the “Virtual World” upon our kids these days, it was nice to see them come back to “Reality” with uncle Vern’s gift’s to them:

13 yr old got a BB Hand Gun
7 yr old got a Red Ryder BB Gun. (Asked to go out shootin’ in the backyard Tuesday morning right around the time ‘Alfie’ had one come back at him and “shot his eye out”. Just thought that was kind of ironic.)

Ahhhh. The good ol’ Christmas gifts.
