KathyK:

This brings me memories of many hours spent blowing in games and 
banging on our NES to get it to work.  I think we went through two 
or three systems before we got the Super Nintendo.  

Also, a couple years ago, my brother and my mother went through some 
sort of video game nostalgia phase and spent way too much money on 
ebay acquiring two NES systems--one that didn't work no matter how 
much they hit it or blew into the games--and Atari, and a Sega 
Genesis, as well as games to go with these systems.  

And what did they do with these games once they'd played them once 
or twice?  Put them in a closet to never give them another thought.  
One of these days I'm going to snag them for myself.  But for now 
I'm content with my Super Nintendo and Zelda to play as well as my 
PS2.  Haven't tried QWC yet, though.  I'm too worried I won't be 
able to stop if I start.  And Iggy, I think, is providing good 
evidence that this indeed will be the case once I've begun playing.

Happy New Year Everyone!
