OGD,

I wish I'd seen that. Now I'm curious about this little thing, kinda 
like wanting to see a movie that isn't really all that good but fun 
anyway. I wonder what attracted the CNN crowd to it, the price, the 
ease of use, the novelty?  What great publicity, though. I bet it 
flies off the shelves at Christmas. Beats the pants off all those 
kid's drums at Toys R Us.
