They're back! Finally! After a long wait, new Tamagotchi were released here in the U.S., in Europe, and all over the world! These Tams connect via infrared beams to make friends, play games, exchange presents, and also find sweethearts! They are the culmination of earlier Tams such as the Osutchi-Mesutchi, DigiMon, GameBoy Tamas, and others!

On Friday the 13th, August 2004, Cat'r, Bunnicula, and I all started up our newly-purchased Tamagotchi Connections (Version 1)!

This is Einar, my Tam (center pictures). His mom (a lovely girl brought round by Mrs. BusyBody, the matchmaker) is the memetchi on the left; his dad (my Tam) is Donal, the tarakotchi on the right. Einar was born on Friday, October 29, 2004 at 10:30am EDT; he began life on his own on Thursday, November 18, 2004. He resided in a peach-pink egg with hearts on it. As of 10:54pm EST on Sunday, December 12, 2004, his stats were:

I hate to say it, but I cannot recall when he went back home to Planet Tamagotchi. He did have a long and (I hope) happy life here, though!
