Living Childhood Fantasy - Who Am I?

One of my all time favorite cartoons growing up was Inspector Gadget. I was fascinated by the way he talked. I'm not sure where he was suppose to be from but his geeky, inspectorish accent kept my attention. I crack up laughing when my mom tells stories about how we use to be so mesmerized when watching television. In any given episode outside of all the inspectors gadgets what I couldn't wait for was his niece Penny to come to her uncles resuce with her computer book and her dog. She'd whip out that book and get to finding out this and intercepting that. It was so cool. I wanted one of those books so bad. I would take a colorful book in the house, at one time an encyclopedia, and puch the paper with my fingers like I was punching computer keys. The glossy paper and the colorful graphics made me feel like I had the real thing... Not really, fore I would only play for a second but still! Now I am in my 30s and I have that computer book, my iPad. I don't use it nearly as much as I thought I would but I have time and there is so much potential with my 'computer book'. I bought a cool case, so I really feel like her. I don't like to hear the sound of they keys when I tap them so I turn that option off. But I always smile when I enter my password to access my iPad world. I'm living one of my childhood fantasies, I am Penny, Inspector Gadgets niece. Cool!
