The Coolest Stuff in the Universe--Guaranteed!

Picking something special for that special someone can be aggravating. So leave it to us. This week’s Tech Times is packed with useful gift ideas--including our 10 slam-dunk presents and our list of things to avoid like the flu.

In fact, we’re so confident that the gadgetry and software we recommend will put a smile on someone’s face that we’ll refund the purchase price of your paper--up to 25 cents--if the person who gets your gift is not absolutely, positively satisfied.

We’re serious. To get your quarter back, just mail this Tech Times section, a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a photo of your frowning recipient holding his or her gift to Tech Times, 202 W. 1st St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. All refund requests must be received by Dec. 31, 2000.
