Prologue
When I was about 10, my best friend won a $1,000 mountain bike at a raffle. I couldn't believe it. $1,000! A few days later, I went to his house and noticed that the bike was missing.
"Oh yeah," he said, "I left it outside, and it got stolen."
His easy-come-easy-go attitude drove me up the wall. I mean, I get it, there's no turning back, but at least mourn a little bit. I resented him for that for a long time.

I'm going through the Phantasm movies. Right now, I'm on Phantasm 2.

Phantasm 1, 3 and 4 are on netflix streaming, but 2, for some reason is not, so I downloaded it. I have an app on my iPad called CineXplayer, which supposedly can play anything, including Xvid.
"Sorry We couldn't play this Movie !" Failure.
I then remembered my Gentouch 78. Remember that one? The fake iPad. That one can play anything. Redemption.
I have a confession to make, though. The other day, it fell out of a drawer, IN ITS CASE, and the screen cracked! I was determined to still use it, though. After all, I paid $169 for it. :)

It turned on ok, but the touch screen no longer works. At all. I can't even turn it off. Ugg. Mega Failure.
I am such a gadget geek, because I then whipped out my GP2X Wiz, the greatest little device ever. Watched that movie on a 2" screen.

Mega Redemption!
Epilogue
Mark said I should try to return the Gentouch. That's ghetto, right? I guess it's worth a shot. I've already got my eye on this badboy.
