Well, we're halfway through July, so that means it's time for all those back-to-school sales to start ramping up. These days it's all about computers, iPods and GPS systems. And I'm talking about elementary school kids! I remember back in my childhood days the biggest thing about going back to school was picking out a lunchbox. And we didn't have any newfangled lunch bags. No siree. We had klunky metal boxes that rusted easily, barely stayed closed and if you were lucky enough to get one early, you could snag a neat Micky Mouse, Snoopy or Star Wars one. Otherwise, you're stuck with a lame-o design or silly bunnies and rainbows. Oh, and the other big item was picking our your folders or trapper keepers (do they still sell those?). Again, you gotta get there early or you're stuck with the boring designs or generic characters, rather than the cool cartoon characters. But the way technology's advancing, kids will be bringing laptops to kindergarten...
