Caption: The programmable VCR which no one's ever figured out how to program. The $600, z880x 720 dpi 6-color, photo inkjet printer with the .01 paper jam. The 500-function cell phone that will do everything except let you hear the voice on the other end. The surround sound dvd/cd entrainment system that would play hours of continuous movies and music if only its little door weren't stuck shut. The $1999.99 laptop with 30-gigabyte hard drive and a dead battery. The digital camcorder with 1.6 million pixels, a 3-way PC link and a 4500 page instruction book. The universal remote programmed for one touch command of every high-tech device in the house, now lost somewhere. The PDA containing 8MB of critical personal data with the blank screen and the missing stylus. The wonderful world of electron-icks. Cathy: Ick. Ick. Ick. Ick. Ick.
