If It's August, It Must Be Back to School Shopping Time ...

What else do I need to say?

Yes, you know who you are and you will be hitting the big box retailers, the specialty office supply stores and even local supermarkets to stock up on the essentials for back to school time. 

In case you missed this, just check out all of the ads in your Sunday paper ...

(Does the summer have to end so fast ...)

What's on your list?

Is it a new notebook computer for the high schooler, a new calculator for the middle schooler and an electronic Thesaurus for the elementary schooler (or maybe just an educational PC game)?

Maybe it should be a new VoIP phone (but I notice less phone time and more IM time in my family)?

Maybe it should be a new Xbox 360 (now how did that get in there)? 

Doesn't it seem that all things gadget and electronic can have some sort of educational value?

(At least for hand/eye coordination?)

is that the gadget itself or just the packaging? nevertheless, it's kind of cute to me--superficially-wise. :p

when i was in school, i was always hankering for an ibook or any laptop would do. Well, i ended up grabbing a cheap electronic dictionary/thesaurus (Franklin).

Doesn't seem that long ago ...
