Aug 12, 2011 - Jason! #LoveIt - A client told me a story about he and his daughter watching a movie on their flat-screen TV when she said, "Daddy, I can't see!". So she proceeds to walk to the TV and 'pinch' it haha - "Honey, it doesn't work that way." Kids, they're to smart for their own good.Wow, yeah - Tech that was ahead of its time. In the mid-90s my father gave my sister and I a Palm Visor. It had modular cartridges, IR real-time transmission (between devices), and a stylus. We played so many games!
