I've finally stopped buying computers and internet connections for home. Over the years I've spent a fortune being the first on the block to have 56K, ISDN, and finally DSL. I've bought an Macintosh 8500 the day it came out and built a dual-processor rack mount W2K server, just to see if I could. Then I started working and my employers have always been kind enough to fund my habit... until cell phones. I've had 6 phones in 4 years. My latest is a Treo 300 that I love. It is beat to hell because I always have it with me. I use it to check the news and my mail in the morning, IM and email when I'm on the road, and play a few games a scrabble when I'm winding down at night. I'm using it right now to post to this blog while I sit in wireless-less Barnes and Noble. I paid $500 for this phone the week it came out. A month later I could have bought it for $250.
