Art, it is all anecdotal....but I have a feeling from conversations with family, friends and salespeople that this year was a real turning point for people crossing the "digital divide". Flash drives, digital cameras, mp3, toys..even folks who balked at digital gifts before found a reason to make the purchase recently. My favorite story is from a co-worker. He finally talked his wife into buying the big screen TV. they got a mitsubishi 52 inch DLP rear-projection HDTV. He, of course, is watching football. the feature his wife likes best on the set of anything....the card slots on the front of the set where she can insert her SD cards and see slide shows of her grandchildren......That feature got her on board with buying the set!

Hey, whatever it takes to get that big-screen into the house!
