 and my insurance doesn’t want to absolve me of the blame unless I get a police report. So we’ve been going back and forth on this for a while and yesterday they wanted to meet me to inspect the damage on my vehicle. To be fair, they are being pretty reasonable - except for not wanting to get a police report <g> - and have offered to fix the damage themselves since the husband is supposed to do bodywork in his spare time. The upshot of it all was that they will try to speak to my insurance and see if they (the insurance company) will accept a letter from the lady saying that it was her fault. I’m keeping my fingers crossed but don’t really think that the insurance company will give in since they are being pretty hard-assed about the whole thing. Ah well …</p>
<p>I went into KMart after the meeting since I wanted to check out the XBoxes :p The hype is really getting thick everywhere and I was almost tempted to go in at midnight and see if they had any XBoxes for sale (hmm … wonder whether there is any truth to the whole subliminal advertising deal? <vbg>) But I really don’t find the XBox impressive yet - especially since there is no must-have-game for me on the console yet. I don’t think they even have an RPG as a release title. I played the demo version of “Munche’s Odyssey” that they had at the store but wasn’t especially impressed by the speed of the console. The graphics were of course good but the game took forever to load from the start screen to the actual in game stuff. Maybe a reboot would have done the trick <g> but I wasn’t about to hang around and try all that.</p>
<p>One good thing to come out of the visit to KMart though was the fact that I discovered that they had the PlayStation2 SCPH-3001R model which is supposed to work with the Sony DVD remote without needing the newer version of the DVD player software to be on a memory card - essentially meaning that you have to always have a memory card in your machine in order to play DVDs. So I called Circuit City and they told me that since it wasn’t 30 days since I bought my PS2, that I could return it and get it exchanged or get a refund. So I packed up my PS2 and am going over to Circuit City today - if they have the newer model, I’ll probably get it from them but if not, I’ll just go over to KMart after getting a refund <img src='http://farook.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
