Just been reading an article on a new eductional toy by Leapfrog called The Fly. Wow, this thing sounds totally revolutionary - it's basically a pen but, well, just read about it...

Wow, that thing sounds really cool. Amazing idea. I wonder what adult applications people will come up with for it.

If it really takes off, it will get even more amazing when the price goes down. Something so self-contained is less prone to losing parts. Very neat approach to go about it.

An RL one ? We'd need to know what sex you are, Taco...... Would a paperbag be necessary ? I come in my own covering. And self-baste. (also, Ellie please empty your inbox) |

I want this. I wonder if it would be to babyish to get it for my 15-year-old for Christmas, so I could play with it.
