Thanks for all of the welcomes :)

Slyfur...alas, I've tried bathing them to no avail *cry* I am SOOOOO allergic to them that if they scratch me I get swollen welts and if I touch my eyes I can't see because they hurt so bad. But I love them :(

I'm Tprezzy12, Toni (married to Mprezzy, we kind of travel in a pack) - I love cats, but haven't played the games. Too bad I'm horribly allergic to them. I have to be content to have outside cats :( I did love reading all of the Warriors books to see human-type personality given to cats :)

Thanks for the invite, Sly!

With the popularity of the DS lite and the documented sales of the DSi, I can't see it going anywhere. I would still like to be able to purchase a DS lite though. I would rather have the functionality allowing for playing GBA games instead of the camera. There are also a tremendous number of games available on the DS compared to other systems and most are reasonably priced.

I, too, am an avid rpg fan and the DS does not lack titles. I've played FF IVand it was very satisfying. My daughter is playing the World Ends with You and is really liking it. Another is playing FF III. I haven't yet played, but have heard good things from friends about the Dragon Quest ports (IVand V) and Chrono Trigger. Good luck in the quest.
