I want that one

When new stuff comes out for my Mac, I want it, even if I don't need it - or know I can't afford it for that matter. Whenever there's the slightest whiff of a system upgrade in OS X's Software Update panel, I check it every five minutes, and I'm proud to declare that I have one of the most up-to-date systems around. I always have the latest version of my core software: Adobe CS, Macromedia MX, Microsoft Office, even if that means file conflicts with users who are more leisurely about their upgrades.

It's the same with hardware. When the "cheese-grater-from-space" G5 came out, I wanted one, even though my G4 was doing a perfectly good job. So I invented an excuse. I announced to my wife, who is also a designer, that she could have the G4 and I would have a shiny new G5, because... I want one. "Are you actually dribbling?" she replied.
