DVD Player

I now own a DVD player. YAY As with any purchase above $100 i go through a week of tossing and turning whether or not to buy. It's the first thing I have bought for myself in nearly 12 mths. Digital Camera the last one before that. For the last year i have been self employed with a friend at our web deisgn company Soap Creative. During the first few months (may 2002) we were getting paid nothing and i had to pay the rent, food etc etc from my savings account. 14 mths later we are finally paying ourselves regulary but my mind is still in Ultra Scrooge Mode. Anyone that knows me will realise that this is not far from Scrooge Mode which I normally function in. Being a scrooge did mean i could leave my full time job and take a risk with Soap. Watching DVD's on a 15" screen is not fun and the prices of players has come down heaps. The one i got plays MP3's, VCD's, WMV and DVD's all region. Also if i chuck a CD of jpeg's in there it also does a nifty slide show. VERY cool. it was handling my 2MB files fine. This is a really cool feature. It's like the old school slide nights your parents (well not mine but at least in the movies) used to have. and with the new Playstation 2 pretty much doign all this and more it seems any product that has just one function is obsolete Here's a few suggestions for new inventions that would be cool to have around the house A couch that coverts crumbs to new edible food snacks and also have a coin dispenser for trips to the corner store A vacuum/mp3 player that uses the suction to play music Bed/pool table
