Re: What are you getting Dad for Father's day? (Comment)
Well neither is my dad - heck he calls my blackberry a blueberry and I'm not joking. Poor guy he really wants to be and his one best friend is head of software procurement for IBM so you would think. My dad is 68 and has macular degeneration so he is loosing his sight slowly but I'll be darn if I dont try and geek him out some.

So tomorrow I get to bring it home (its being shipped to my office), load his music on it, learn how to work it and then show him on Thur just before they head to Europe for 3 weeks. Nothing like getting it in just in time huh - I picked this one because it is touch screen (with a large screen), it has wifi, it will hold movies and music. I think he will really like it alot if not new toy for me.
