- Well, Christmas morning came and the one thing I have been hounding my wife
- about getting for the past 9 months showed up... A Lynx! I like mine a lot!
- For the past 9 months my wife has been telling me that it was stupid for
- me to want a Lynx when I have the SNES, TG16/CD, and (my daughters) NES, but
- I kept telling her, 'It has fun games.' Now, I can understand specs but I
- dont care about them, all I care about is having fun. The Lynx has got 2
- thumbs up for fun. I am having a hardware/software problem though that I need
- help with. It seems that since I got my Lynx... When I go to find it, it is
- usually turned on.. Now, the only thing I can think of is that it is being
- turned on because my wife insists on playing it and it would be pretty stupid
- to have a Lynx in your hands, staring at the screen and not have it on...
-
- Anyway, how do I combat this problem... I can't play my Lynx when I want to
- because my wife insists on playing the Surfing Game from California Games?
-
- Has anyone else had this problem?
-
- Oh, and I went to T'R'U to try to get Warbirds.. They were out.. I guess Ill
- have to wait... They were also out of Lynx's and a number of games (this being
- right after Christmas...) I was thinking that this was good because it must
- mean that people are buying it, not just that T'R'U happens to have some dead
- space to fill. Anyway... I got Checkered Flag instead (another one that has
- the same hardware problem as above)... Rampart was a gift from a friend and
- and Robotron was a gift from my wife... I made out pretty good... I *NEED*
- Warbirds though...
-
- I have a Lynx... Im happy.
