Comments on: Out With the Old; In With the New! http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/06/15/out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new/ Insight and Analysis from North of the Border Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:49:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Mark Evans http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/06/15/out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new/#comment-70633 Mark Evans Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:26:34 +0000 http://www.markevanstech.com/?p=3510#comment-70633 Glad you enjoyed the post. What I find is interesting is all the things on my wish-list (e.g. new MacBook, Bosch speakers, good watch) would be classified as quality products that are, hopefully, built to last.

We have been having this conversation at home for a few weeks now: I have not replaced our TV in close to two decades now. We actually don't have a TV. The TV went into the garbage (well sidewalk really) 16 years ago. And now all the LCD flat screens are so so tempting. So it took a couple of weeks of conversations to discover that we don't need one, we watch most everything on our respective laptops. There is no need to buy a piece of hardware no matter how tempting the ads are! And that brought us to discussing what we buy in general and it turns out: not much! I love playing with new products: I do that in the store. But as far as bringing them into my home: nope. Ain't happening. Except for running shoes. As to quality versus price: the objects I love the most are old, decrepit and somewhat broken but I would not exchange them for all the money in the world! Funny seeing your post as this was fresh on my mind! Cheers, Leila This is hilarious.
