- Wow! That is alot of batteries! On a side note concerning
- the two (since the talk about a kid came from one of my
- previous posts) game systems, many people complain about
- the size of the Gameboy screen. IMHO, it's just fine
- and the whole GB setup (including my light attachment)
- was less than half the size of his. When I travel I usually
- use a backpack for my camera, books, misc stuff and my GB.
- If I had something the size of a Lynx, I wouldn't be able
- to fit it in. What type of system you want merely depends
- on what you want, how often you will use it and what you
- are willing to put up with. If Nintendo ever comes out
- with a color Gameboy then maybe I'll pick that up if it
- isn't much bigger than this one. Until then, I'm happy
- with my Gameboy. It's small, fun, entertaining and
- a true hand-held system. (I've even played it one handed!)
