i'm getting emotionally attached to my DVD player. it's a beauty, silver facade. tacky buttons and all, though. i'm sure you know what i mean, these no-brand electrical items never get their designs right. oh, the features are just lovely. i switch off mid-way thru a movie (Blade II, to be precise) and when i turn it back on, it automatically starts at the place where i stopped. simply marvellous.
