Ooh, I have some really nice BOSE Noise Canceling Headphones. I got them used in good condition on eBay. Love 'em.

And I've never been one for closed captioning since, like Scoots said, I get distracted reading them and forget to pay attention to the actual show.

Um, what about CLOCKS?

1. The Dictionary. Think about it Noah Webster had to be aspergant. It is a list of words and definitions. I have a copy in almost every room (including the bathroom (( too much info?)) ). I have WWW.Dictionary.com on my bookmarks.

2. Strongs concordance. Same reason it is an exhaustive list.

3. Thesuarus. Look up and think ditto.

There are more reference books but you get the idea.

Taht makes me think of the industrial Revolution. The inventor I admire most is James Brindley. He was a genius and built canal and tunnels without writing or drawning anything down.
