One thing that is constant with game consoles is that when it comes to entering information, they make "hunt and peck" look like speed typing.

Not much to report this week. I'm still playing Final Fantasy III and while the game is great, I'm still ticked off about the online message system. Read last week's post for more info.

I have this to say about Nintendo's Wii - setting it up is a lot easier than buying one.

It always happens. You get a new toy for Christmas and it's only a matter of minutes before it breaks. Or gets stuck in a tree.

I've heard of several reports of people losing their grip on their Wii controllers and more than a few TV sets getting ruined when the handheld unit collided with the screen. Nintendo thoughtfully provided a wrist strap to prevent such accidents, but inexplicably used very thin thread to attach it to the Wiimote. Guess what? It broke. This has resulted in Nintendo issuing a recall for all of the faulty wrist straps. And it gave me a great gag for this week's cartoon. Enjoy.
