It could be, ^8^ Harvey brought up Tennis a few posts back when I mentioned going bowling this last weekend.
I havent seen a lot of well-known Tennis stars in a while, which one was the guy who always had a Temper Tantrum and always had a shaved head for last few years? Was it Greg Luganius?

Hehe I didn't keep up with the Australian open and I haven't seen Greg Luganus lately. So many interesting tv options, so little time. I count on youse guys to keep me up on the major things.

I try to keep up with things at least in The News. I do watch The News but I dont take it literaly often, because different News Stations put thier spin on everything and pander to thier audieances often.
I am sort of a Fuddy/Duddy. I like the old school Newspapers better than T.V News.

You're so right about the tv news having spin that panders to the audience. So I choose the ones that pander to me. lol I speed-read Yahoo news online. They seem to be pretty neutral.
Newspapers seems to be disappearing or being bought up by Rupert Murdock, the very conservative Australian millionaire.
I used to the the NY Times online, and sometimes the Washington Post. Not lately. What newspapers do you read?

Yeah, 3nodding I do check out the Yahoo News from time to time. Sometimes especially when I first get on the Internet whenever it is.
Yeah, newspapers are dissapearing everythig is moving to digital either T.V or Internet.
Mostly just our Local Paper but from time to time I do look at The Times on the Internet a bit.

Yup lots of news is moving to the internet. And the ads. At least with tv there's a mute button. Or you can walk out of the room. With internet news, the rolling and flashing ads are unavoidable and extremely annoying.

I do think if some day Newspapers do finally go away there will still be a similar way to recieve news like it.
Have you heard or seen of the new thing called EBook?

Something like that, it is a small Pad with a screen that looks like a PDA and it basically lets you read what every book & Ect. you have loaded up to it and such.

Hmm interesting. It would be cool to be able to carry around a book that small and light weight. As long as the resolution was good and the print was big enough but not too big. Do you want one of those devices?

From what I know info wise on it is that it weight about 1 to 2 lbs. can be loaded with well in excess of a 1k worth of books at a time I think it said and you can do a lot of very nifty stuff.
It has a Bookmark function to save your place and it can be changed to whatever Font you like to read and whatever Size type you lie to read as well.

Wow, don't know if I'll even read 1,000 more books any time in the near future.
Sounds like it has great features.
That bookmark feature is handy. When I went to the library a little while ago to renew a book, the librarian dumped out my bookmark. I'm sure it was an accident, but aargh!!!

I know, it has the capacity for a lot of books. I do agree it would take a long time for a person to read 1k of books even if it was the same ones over and over again.
I think so, but the prob. is I think it being a new gadgit it maybe be a bit to high priced starting out. I actually never saw a price but I bet it will be high.
Yeah, bookmarks are very important. I have had bookmarks fall out and just go nuts trying to find out where I left off reading!!!!!!!!
