There are so many interesting things to look at in this store. The one that really amazed me was Brian the Brain! Who needs a roommate with Brian the Brain? It is an interactive digital roommate that contains the encyclopedia, dictionary, calculator, world history, a calendar and clock and a personal organizer. It also has voice recognition! $119.95 — less hassle than a roommate and has all that knowledge! Another neat thing was the color photo viewer and weather station combined. It was $299 and was on sale at $199. Or how about a Franklin 12 language speaking global translator?

There are GPS systems. I would be sooo lost without mine! Or how about a bluetooth cell phone stereo visor car kit? That’s mouthful, but it means you hang it on the visor so you can speak hands-free! It was $79.99.

They had the Roomba Vacuuming Robot. Don’t you think that would be a plus? Air cleaners were buy one, get one half off.

Who thinks of all these things? Like a fully illuminated, 6-foot dog leash! When I was in, it was on sale for $19.99 — that’s half off!
