Shhh! Don't Tell My Dad!

* This is NOT a paid post *

Yesterday I was looking for something else to give to my family, particularly my Dad. He loves chess, but he doesn't know how to use the computer. So I went browsing for some portable chess game online last night and I found one that I hoped would make him happy he he he he...

I found this two-in-one chess station (click on the link to view the product). Actually I bought one from ebay since the price was lower there (but this time I took a precaution and I only bought something if the seller has a 100% rating on over 1,000 sold items) ha ha ha ha...

Anyway, the good news about this chess station is that you can either play it using a portable travel unit or you can also play it the old-fashioned way.

I thought about buying this portable game since my Dad's retired, so he has less things to occupy his mind with, so this type of stimulation would be good to keep his brain active. Back in the old days when we were still studying at school, he used to play chess in the computer for hoursssss!!! We'll see how well he likes it. I still hope the chess pieces aren't too small for him, though he he he...



Now I need YOUR help, blogger friend!!! I'm thinking of buying a camcorder in the near future, but I want your reviews first to compare and contrast. I've been reading some online guide on choosing camcorders, but I still think it's better to read your reviews first.

So, if you have any good experience with a camcorder and if you're satisfied with it, will you tell me the name and the brand, please? ;-D THANKS in advance for anyone who helps me HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...
