Any of you guys gonna get the Afterburner, backlit screen GBA???
It's all about money these days. Where's the 'quality of life'? Like enjoying a walk, going fishing, peace and quiet, and above all SAFETY and SECURITY at home?
But oh, no, to walk anywhere, chances are you have to pay. There are free footpaths (designated) available to all, but what happens if you go on a long one, say 100 miles? No land set aside for 'free camping' and to be honest, if it was there'd be a mountain of rubbish to shift because people don't respect the environment!
To go fishing, you not only have to have a license, but pay the landowner for access. Water flows, no matter what we do, fish spawn and grow even in untended waters. Do the water companies exclusively claim a god-given right to the fish that exist? If some of the lands along every river bank were opened up, free of charge, then how many would be out there?
Other matters:
The courts have a thing called 'victim surcharge'. I rarely hear of any victim having a payout, unless it's a high-profile case. Aren't 'damages' paid to victims instead? On this, also, people on 'minimum wage' if wronged NEED financial help to even consider taking their grievance to court. What happened to the'open forum' of a local Lord to spend one day hearing the people's troubles?
How much does it cost to give convicted prisoners their 'rights' so they can play games on their consoles and watch television, with free heating, lighting, showers, food?
The government is sending countless billions to other countries as 'Aid'. What about helping those at home first? Also on that, what have the wars in other places cost us, (mainly instigated by the US)? and what does it cost to send world leaders on a 'jolly' to a summit (with all their underlings) when a lot could be achieved by a conference call between them.
More on this later.

I was thinking about it before, but now i've decided 'No' is my answer. Why?? Well read how you install it and it says you have to do things to the insides like saldering :S and stripping wires :S - not the easiest of things on such a small machine!
And just by opening the thing and basically TOUCHING the insides the warranty becomes void! So no. :(
It's a brilliant idea, and could be huge in a year's time.
I may consider it in the future if specialists can install it foer you. And where does it get it's power from??
From batteries or some other source?? And another thing, you have to be 18 to order it and i'm not, yet.
I showed the site to some other people and they were amazed and instantly wanted one! Untill they read the 'how to install it' bit.
