I gave this to my best friend who I haven't seen in ages. I had a wicked plan to surprise him with insults and this gift was perfect! It was so easy to set up and program. I was happy that I could write seven different messages and they all ran in sequence when it was activated. I gave them a fan but did NOT turn on the programming CD so what I programmed would show up forever. If you enjoy playing around with family and friends, this makes a great gift for that purpose. :)
