Well, sort of.  Does anyone have a Mac?  iPod?  iPhone?  Nintendo DS?
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE ACCENTS???
Do you think cloning is right?

On a Mac, I think you make an accent by holding down the Option key and hitting e. Then let up on both keys. Then hit the letter you want to have an accent over and it will come out with an accent.

In Word, look for Symbols under one of the menus. I think it's under Insert, but it might be Edit or View.

Yes, and also on a Mac, to make umlauts, press opt+u and then the vowel you want :) *grin*

Of course, you can't make accented consonants, because that would just be silly.

Technology.....  A CD player....  And my computer!!! :D:D:D

They answered your question.

Cloning.  No, I don't like it.  Life is a gift from God.  We can't make it! (Well, we're capable, but I don't think we should.)

Me neither.  It just seems so...  So...  Unnatural?  Unrealistic?  Scary?  I don't know.  I just don't like it.  I read a sci-fi book about a boy who was cloned, and it was SO saaaad!!!  And scary.  I tell you, the day they clone a human will be one of the saddest days in history.  *looks grave*  Anyway.  I have two MacBook Pros, an iPod Classic and...  I forgot.

I think cloning is a sin.  Starwars cloning is okay, because it's a movie, but real life?  I don't like it.  :P

Ohh! Ohh!!  I thought of more electronics!!!!!!  Nothing like computer/iPod things, but more of my style.  (You have two MacBooks?!?!?!?)  I have a digital camera and a camcorder.  The camera is great quality, but the camcorder was a piece of junk that I bought myself.  It turns out that we have this GOOD, expensive camera hidden in a closet, that I could use, but there's no way to get in on the computer.  Sooo, my daddy bought me the cord I needed, for Christmas!!!!  Now I have a good camera!!!  (And he bought me a good mic to go with it!!!) :D:D:D:D:D

I just got a digital camera for Christmas! It works great! Compared to my mom's camera, mine is BETTER! It's an Olympus. I think those are pretty good, right? There's a thing on it so when you're shaking it, the picture comes out perfect! I tested it, and it is perfect! I LOVE my camera; it's so cool! I'm going to take GREAT care of it. I also have a MacBook; it's my school's computer. We have this thing where all the kids at my school get computers! Pretty cool! :)! I have a camera on my computer, Tongue out lucky me! But the bad thing is: I have to give it back at the end of the school year...CryCry I love my computer! 

I have an Ipod, pretty cool! No iphone, no cell phone. But I don't mind, I don't NEED a phone.  My brother's 15, and he just got one! So I'm guessing, I won't get one until I'M 15. He's learning to drive. IT'S SCARY!

I just got a Camcorder!!!!!  (4 Xmas)  I LOVE IT!!!!! I have a Macbook!!!!!  And two iPods, one of which I don't want anymore!  (It's the first nano, and now that I have the little square-ish shaped one, I don't want oldie anymore!!!)  We only have Macs in our house!  Mine was my BIG Christmas gift last year!!!

I guess I'm a little deprived, technology-wise (no iPod, no cell phone, no DS, no Gameboy, no TV even, though we do watch movies), but we do have a LOVELY new Mac (as opposed to our old windows 98), a digital camera that does movies, and, uh, electricity. I'll think of more in the middle of the night or something, I'm sure.
