first off I don't have a brother and secondly - see? gorilla is still being used :) It's easy to get excited about something new and want to play with it right away, ethn be distracted by the next new thing. as far as AMG goes... not even interested. Not that I don't think it's a wonderful work or anything, just doesn't hold any interest for me. I too have limited funds, so when i buy something I think long and hard about how much I'll use it - just can't see using AMG for much of anything. think i'll stick with Koshini and her gorilla buddy. now, all that being said, gotta go buy the boyfriend - right now he's off looking for bananas...
