I didn't say they _are_ boring. I said that I used to _think_ they were

That's why I asked the question about today's kids. Sure, I think they're
interesting now, but do today's kids share that view?

Absolutely. And a combine provides for ample opportunity to make a

the question has to be, "will they appeal to kids?"
