High-Tech Valentines
February 14th is sneaking up on us and it seems a box of chocolates and a cute card are no longer acceptable as Valentine’s Day gifts. If I were to believe the radio ads, there is only one acceptable gift on Valentine’s Day… jewelry. The funny thing is none of the commercials seem to urge women to buy gifts for men. I’ll save that observation for a rant for a different day.
If jewelry isn’t up your alley or up the alley of the person of your affection, then you may be interested in these Five Picks for High-Tech Love.

Face it, men, on Valentine’s Day there is exactly one great film: Pride and Prejudice.
As nice as she acts during supposedly great films like Citizen Kane, The Godfather and The Departed, there is simply nothing to compare on this special day to Mr. Darcy and his ego issues.
This is not news. What is news is that finally, great gal-friendly movies are now available for download.
No more messy discs and battling players — direct-from-the-Web movies ($5.95) have gone mainstream.
Words of warning: You will be paying top dollar per film — almost six bucks.
These are great suggestions, but for the sake of everything you hold dear, do not forget the roses, box of chocolate, and that really cute card with the little boy and little girl holding hands in a field of wildflowers that says, “I wuv you!”
