Gadget crazy

The question I pose to you today is; Can one have too many gadgets? It seems that with each day I spend at work, I am thrown into a world of high tech gagetry that the average person doesn’t need. It also seems that for every dollar I earn, I spend a large majority of it buying such gadgets. The list is quite frankly enormous, from iPAQs, iPods, Sony Ericsson and Nokia Bluetooth phones, Powerbooks, Network Cameras, Blogs, Galleries, Wireless Networks, Triple Monitor Workstations, LCD Panels, Xbox, Playstation, Projectors, Laptops, and everything in between. In fact, I think that list only covers our spending for about the last year. The main facilitator of all this spending appears to be the wonderful world of eBay. Quite literally, if you can’t find it on eBay, it’s either not worth buying or not worth finding. So where will we be in a year’s time? That’s an interesting question and one that I’ll answer by saying, it’s only going to get worse!

    Getting them all to play nice together is the hard part. OSX does make that a lot easier though.
