It also is compatible with D memory cards for use with the Canon i860 printer or virtually any other card-carrying printer.

No one in the family will ask "Are we there yet?" when Sony's DVD Dream System comes along. A DVD player with a flip-down widescreen seven-inch monitor keeps kids of all ages quiet and happy with movies and music. As a perfect complement, kids will love the "Finding Nemo" DVD.

If you have a teen who loves music and the Internet, an MP3 player is the perfect gift. Portable MP3 players are the best way to listen to music from the Internet in its most popular format (MP3 files). The iRiver iGP-100 MP3 player (iGP-100), available at Best Buy stores and on www.BestBuy.com, offers the best of both hard-drive and flash-memory portable music players, with a smaller and lighter size than traditional hard-drive music devices.

Teens will love the power of its 32-bit memory and be dazzled by intense graphics on a screen that is wider than previous Game Boy systems. And, www.BestBuy.com makes it easy to customize systems to fit gift-giving needs. For even more fun, add Super Mario 3 with GameBoy Advance.

Gifts for the Family

Go directly to DVD with one click, dash to your desktop and begin editing precious photos instantly. Then share memories with family and friends in a matter of moments. Sony's new DVD camcorder (DCR-DVD100) even captures JPEG stills, sized for sharing on e-mail. And, each shot can be viewed on the 2.5-inch LCS screen as you record.

The entire family will discover the ultimate viewing experience with Pioneer's 50-inch Plasma TV. The super color, clarity and sharpness of plasma technology is even better with a 50-inch screen size, which means you get a 160 degree viewing angle. This elegant TV is so thin you can hang it on the wall as if it was a piece of artwork.

And, to make your new TV into a booming home entertainment system, add the Sony 500-Watt Progressive-Scan DVD Home Theater System with Hi-Fi VCR (HTV1000DP). This impressive system offers progressive-scan DVD, surround sound, and a four-head Hi-Fi VCR. Adding Dolby Pro Logic II and Sony's Digital Cinema Sound processing can transform even stereo VHS tapes into a riveting cinematic experience.
