(Dec.10.09)
We finally upgraded from our Commodore 64 to a Mac. We traded our Atari for a Wii. But we're still mostly clueless when it comes to new technology. (Cut us some slack -- we've been breastfeeding on and of since Web 2.0. happened!) So we asked our friends at PTPA Media to share some of their award-winning products for the holidays with us. Here are their top picks in the gadget category -- to help bring us from the 80s to the present.
