What Reine got, so the underwhelming comment implies she didn’t get it for herself. Probably her parents. My issue with Xmas is, except for kids who aren’t shy plus this whole Santa thing, it’s really hard to achieve the serendipity to match wants or needs. I’m a gamer. My GF picked up this Atari 2600 handheld, from a console I avoided in the day and began with the C64. There were things I wanted, just kept my eyes open for sales and pawn shops (where I had achieved real lucking out).My best Xmas match was with my first GF, having noticed a print of a classic painting she previously had and lost in a move. My current doesn’t like to browse and shop, just search and destroy and get out. No fun.

And look at the size of that thing! Let’s you know how old this strip is.
By the way, I really wanted one of those when they were new.

Back in the day it was always a race as to which was faster; my work or home computer.

My wife calls any new tech I buy “My Toy.”

Unfortunately, that’s how the Big Fruit people see most users.
