Gadget envy
And I know I have been accused, on multiple occasions, of suffering from gadget envy :-) But I think this is the ultimate. I need one, I want one! :-) (Yes, Freud would have something to say)If Motorola phones integrate iTunes, it flops. On the other hand, if there was an iPod that worked as a phone, I would buy it! Go figure? I communicate by phone, email, blackberry, IM, blog and now there's Blackberry Messenger.
My dad used to be a family doctor. And in our house, the rule was that someone had to answer the phone - I mean, it could be a matter of life and death! I so admire Ahms and Kev for being able to switch off - I am at the beck and call of my play-that-funky-music-white-boy celltone.
The looming gadget decision that I have to make is ... Xbox or GameCube? Xbox has the advantage that we already have several games for it. However, I am told by the authoritative voice of the 8-year-old subject-matter-expert that the Pokemon game for GameCube rules. We used to have a friend who bought his Amiga 500 after playing the game "Barbarian" on mine - he went into the shop and asked for "one of those machines that plays Barbarian" :-) So what's wrong with buying a machine to play Pokemon?
Suggestions, anyone?

I would go for the Amiga. Oh, wait, I just sold mine. I suppose a last generation Xbox is probably quite affordable now that the game console with identity crisis (isn't the 360 a computer really?) is out.
Uncle Robbert would suggest you ask his little brother, who actually reads gaming magazines. He's all PS2 though.
I woulf go for the PSP (I am a PS2 owner) or wait for PS3, if xbox was an option go for 360 (it is allready cracked for illegal copies!) but I am a bit principle about ms! nintendo has its new machine (wii). Offcourse nintendo has more kid games, but my 18+ rated ps2 games are forbidden and therefour favorite for 6 years old.

Gamecube games are a howl, and I think the Wii is really the only "next-gen" I'll be looking at. They're consistently about the games, and throw in enough eye-candy to make it worthwhile. And hello, retro-emulators built in! Woohoo!
I wouldn't say I can completely shut off/out things, but I'm a lot better than I was. I find if we let people expect that they can get a hold of us at _their_ convenience, we're kind of slaves to the devices. I don't miss my Blackberry at all, and if I could, I'd ditch my cel because whenever it rings it just means that someone wants something. Caller ID is my friend, as is a legal pad and pen.
I'm slowly turning into a Luddite.
Woohoo!
