i confess, i watch TechTV whenever my wife and son aren't watching. ;)

i think that after spending enough of my loot on toys that break down
after being dropped many times, i'll stick to spending my moolah on
stuff that i can be certain has an MTBF of at least 3 years.

which is fine if the ugly looking box does stuff that nothing else
that can be bought off-the-shelf can do yet. but yes, i'd spend on
techie devices IF i can justify the expense to THE BOSS. she was
complaining to me earlier that OpenOffice in Linux (and probably in
the other OS too) doesn't have Text Draw (ehrm... i'm completely ignorant
about why that tool is necessary because i don't use MS Word).
