My inner Luddite thrills to this sort of image, especially when it took a ?#^!x* hour to cobble this post together. I had an Intellivision as a kid, and shied away from subsequent gaming machines as their buttons multiplied and their rapid advancement became an expensive status-driven arms race. The Wii is the first system I could see myself buying because involves physicality in a way that cuts through all that. The irony with all new technology for me is that I pick it up in such an inefficient manner it remains a time-waster for a very long time initially. A customer last week asked me as he toiled away at his resume where I learned computers, and I could've laughed or cried. Its just learning curve after learning curve if you're doing it right.
