Excellent news, my food stamp benefits were approved.

Good news! I'm glad that technology means that "food stamps" no longer means actual pieces of paper that had to arrive in the mail. Although it's hard for me to divorce the phrase from the image.

Ditto albums. And my brain still short-circuits sometimes when I'm trying to differentiate the rest of the techno-alphabet soup: VHS, DVD, DVR, MP3, MPREG....
