"..in minutes a day".

I got one for my son, for his birthday last week.  
(so I guess they have something in common)

President George W. Bush received an early birthday present on Wednesday from Nintendo. The game developer sent the president one of their DS Lite portable gaming machines and a copy of "Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day". No word on whether Bush, who turns 60 today, is a fan of the company or video games. In the letter addressed to the presidential birthday boy, Nintendo points out the game will help the president "keep your mind sharp" and suggests President Bush should try it out on his next long flight aboard Air Force One. Included in the gift pack was this letter: Quote Dear President Bush: Happy Birthday! Don't worry, turning 60 is an exciting milestone. As you know, you've joined millions of other baby boomers in an invigorating new decade of your life. And, like many boomers, you may be looking for ways to keep your mind sharp. That's where we come in. Please accept our gift of a new Nintendo DS Lite system and a copy of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. You now join millions of people around the world who have fun challenging themselves with Brain Age. If you have never played a video game before, don't worry. Brain Age is part of our new Touch Generations brand, which includes games that are easy for people of any age - regardless of their video game experience - to pick up and start playing immediately. It's obvious you don't have a lot of time to play games, which makes Brain Age such a great activity for you - just a few minutes a day with more than 15 daily training tests will help keep your mind sharp. Training tests include categories like math, reading and memorization. Try it for a few days and watch your score improve. Brain Age also comes with more than 100 sudoku puzzles - these could make your next long flight on Air Force One a bit more fun! (Perhaps copies of Brain Age for journalists joining you on your next flight would be a nice distraction!) Have fun exploring Brain Age with your Nintendo DS Lite and be sure to let us know your brain age! Have a tremendous birthday! Sincerely, Your Friends at Nintendo

its basically a game based on the standard IQ test    the same kinds of questions/problems.

it was developed by a japanese psychologist, and its really popular amongst the businessman-on-subway..  crowd.

(that was the target audience. it was designed for japanese businessmen to sharpen their memory and 'get an edge' on the competition)

Do you think Bush can operate a computer ? Install a video game, doubtfull. Add to that it is a game based on the standard IQ test.

It's not a computer game, it's for the Nintendo DS. Still questionable if he can figure out where it goes in, though. :P

I produced a CD, I organized 2 huge provincial hockey tournaments,  I finished in 2nd place in a national TV contest show (bit like Jeopardy), I organized a trip to Myrtle Beach for some kids in about 3 weeks...  and so on....

Hey #######, you REALLY just crossed the line with what you've just said. I'm currently attending the Tennessee Technology Center of Shelbyville for Computer Operations Technology, which is a four-year course. I just got a job at Dell as a tech support representative making $15 an hour. I helped install wireless nodes throughout our school and bring them online. I help manage our schools servers, and back up important data daily. I am 19 years old.

You really need to watch your ####ing mouth.

Thanks for the post there Sandman...

I don't see you in the above posts, so I obviously wasn't even directing my post to you.

Looks like you have launched a few things in your life.  I would say keep up the good work.
