I got a Griffin iMic to convert music on cassettes and LPs into MP3s. This might be old hat to some, but I think it's the best thing since sliced bread!

I always thought sliced bread was over rated.
Unless you're really in a hurry.
Or feeding ducks.

For want of a better analogy or metaphor or whatever it is, I selected sliced bread!

Greatest thing since they put a pocket on a shirt.

7. Everything!
I made tomato soup the other night

1/2 cup chicken broth
1 medium tomato (1 cup)
some crushed garlic
1/4 cup milk

I put the broth, tomato and garlic in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes then used the cross-blade from my Magic Bullet for all of 20 seconds. I added the milk and used the Magic Bullet for another 10-15 seconds.

That's it...tomato soup! YUM!

2. TiVo with built in DVD recording.
Edited on Mon Sep-19-05 05:51 PM by Pithlet
I thought TiVo alone was the pinacle of eletronic gadgitdome. That nothing could suprass its wonderfulness, until I upgraded to the Series II.

3. I wish I could talk the hubby into that
It'd be cheaper than investing in a DISH DVR - they want about $700 for those suckers!

9. That's way too much
Our new TiVo wasn't near as much, even with the DVD built in. We get digital cable, and we hated the DVR service through them anyway, so we have our own stand alone unit and pay for the service directly through TiVo.

12. I think so.
If that. You can also pay a one time fee of $299 that lasts for as long as you own that unit.

13. I dont get the IPODs
We were listening to hundreds of non stop songs on personal use stereos and headphones for years, It was called FM.

With the ipod comes the downloads and the waitin and the cost ...
