Default I'm getting the gadget itch...

You know how every once in a while you feel like you really need to buy some kinda cool new gadget? Lately I've been feelin that way. Not a ton of money, just something kind of cool.

I was thinkin maybe I'd get one of them USB thumb drive things since they seem pretty nifty.

Otherwise right now Sprint has a deal on the Sanyo 8100 for $99 but I have a LG 5350 that I bought in January which I dunn if I'm ready to get rid of yet. Probably not.

Any other cheap (< $100) electronic goodies I could buy?

I should probably abstain and save up for that tv I need to get but eh. Dunno.

Donate $100 to the I-need-my-car-shipped-from-Seattle-to-Charleston fund... :rick:




In all seriousness, I'd say keep saving for a plasma screen T.V.

One of my guys in Nautilus building has a 27" plasma (biggest that fits in the entertainment centers here) and it is sweet...

I just got paid today. After debts I am left with $79 to my name. So I couldn't buy anything cool even if I wanted to.

Um, plasma is like several thousand dollars. I'm a college kid.

I don't own any tv whatsoever. I wanna get something like a 27" WEGA or something so I can actually have a nice, quality tv.

OIC... I understand the predicament... I'm only an E-3 with almost as many bills as income... just waiting on that bonus to kick in...




I'd still say save for a TV, because it will give you more enjoyment overall than another gadget...

Must be nice to be wealthy!


I haven't had any money for gadgets. The company I work for is ran by a bunch of tightwads who use the war as a reason for not giving us bonuses anymore. Not to mention they laid off over 50% of our crew, so now I have to do more work for no extra pay.

If I had money for gadgets I would get a laptop and upgrade my home theatre surround sound system.
