* It's so easy to find things that you can see dozens of objects each
observing session

* It's so easy to find things that you can get addicted to the computer and
never learn the sky

* The computer is so handy for finding obscure objects that your friends
will always be asking you to help them find some tiny faint fuzzy

* After you find the tiny faint fuzzy above, it is still just a tiny faint
fuzzy :-)

* It's a fun techie toy with lots of bells and whistles; very impressive.

* Those fun bells and whistles can break; very unimpressive :-)
