So the jack-knife is no longer sufficient for opening Christmasgifts. Actually, it probably hasn't been for quite a while, but ithas just become apparent to me. The Nintendo Wii played a large partin Christmas this year, and I've gotta tell you - the packaging thatthose things come in is downright dangerous. Not necessarily the Wiiitself, but the accessories - battery chargers, additional remotes,"Nunchucks", etc... I'd rather freehand on a table saw than open oneof those things! After a couple of near-misses I grabbed the snipsfrom the shop and had no trouble at all. Scissors don't cut it; youneed the mechanical advantage of compound action - the plastic is thattough.That said, the Wii is one heck of a fun time.JP*********************Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
