This identity theft is getting out of hand. I am a retailer and receive fraud or stolen cards every day. The sad part is that they actually clear with the merchants because these people have enough information to make them pass. I then send them the products. Before I know it, a charge back for hundreds of dollars sometimes is sucked out of my bank account plus I am out the product. Nobody can tell me what to do either, except for contact my local police. The credit card companies don't even have a way to file a merchant complaint. Only if you are the person who got your card stolen, can you file. They need to come up with better ways to protect consumers AND merchants.
I am very disturbed to hear about the interactive learning article. My 2 year old has about 5 of the systems. One of which she uses all of the time. She does quite well with them. I will say however that I have not noticed her learning anything new, but she does impliment what she does know. I have totally bought into the technology. I don't however hope to replace teachers. These tools should be used for free time play, not classrooms.

I am constantly amazed by Apple and the Ipod Explosion. I bought 3 for my teens last Christmas and bought 3 more this year for my niece and nephew. That's thousands of dollars in Ipods. Now I think at 35 I want one myself *smile*

Excuse my ignorance but what does your response mean? The only word I recognized was spam which I am definately not doing. Is that what you mean?
