Yes my dear friends I have what is normally called the gadjet disease.
In medical terms it is sometimes called the Gadjelitous or laptopo-ipodo-HarddriveRamis-Flatscreen-digiCamera-wireless&blutoothness-peedeeay-homenetworkness by proxy.
Usually occurs when I constanly see some new electronic gadget advertised on Bestbuy and sometimes the attacks come via Compusa or just by browsing the Ebay.
Please tell me if you have this gadget disease and what are the symptoms so far.
Here are my symptoms:
1 cisco router,
3 switches (12 -24 port)
3 wireless routers,
2 digital cameras,
4 hubs
4 Cell phones (only one is active though and hurts every month around the 1st)
1 PDA
4 desktops
5 laptops
Countless wires and cables (I mean boxes full of them)
2 wrists with Carpel tunnel and dry eyes that visine cannot cure.
1 HDD testing equipment
1 CD rom drive array with 8 drives
2 Hard drive array
And I am forgetting almost as much as I remembered
If you know a cure please reply back soon as it might take over my life.
You dont want to know my collection. I have one floor of the house full with these gadgets. For exampe I have two Enterprise 250 Servers, 2 Netra t105, 1 Blade 2500, 1 Ultra 60, 2 Ultra 10s. 3 laptops, 9 desktop PC (intel based). Two sun SCSI multipacks. SUN & HP DAT tape drives. 1 Cisco 2600. I dont remember the numbers of switches (I think around 10 or 11). three laser & two deskjet printers ... & God knows what else I have in the cupboards. I have around 12 GB of memory lying around in 128 & 256 modules.
& in the end I have an angry wife as well (that I am sure u dont have yet).
chalain .. i feel a LIL bit less embarrased from this thread..
so when i moved.. i threw away 2 pcs, and ENOUGH parts to fully build decent linux-style 4 machines.. had about 4 gigs of ram lying around as najim said in 128 and 256 mods.. about 8 network cards, 3 sound cards, reference books, manuals, training material..
after moving i realized i will never utilize 4 celerons, (566) and 2 celerons (1g) and other things so threw them .. (i know, i know, should have contacted local guppiez, somebody would have needed it, but ARRANGING that matter was a pain in life itself)
so far i’m down to:
1, 1gig tiny mp3 (gym use)
1 cellfone (have 4 i think, use only 1)
2 routers, 1wireless under use, 1 wired, testing/playing purpose
2 working desktops
1 under-building desktop
1 laptop
my last addiction was connectors+gender switchers, i had a half-closet full of pretty much EVERY possible wire/connector/gender switcher for something that CAN connect in back of pc..
back in old days when i was in highschool-going-to-college mode, i realized i was spending 80% of my ‘on me’ money in techstuff.. had to work REALLY hard to browse radioshack(sourceCC now)and futureshop and all those places and NOT buy something… alhamdullilah have enough willpower now to ONLY get what i need AND will use a lot, and had courage to throw everyyyyyyyyyyyyything else…
Well i can beat you all…I ve got a whole garage full of old stuff..including a commodore 64, zx spectrum and Amiga etc,etc…but the best bit is that since the last 4 years I have presuaded my employer to pay for all this rubbush!!!
This is one of the trick which my g/f always insist on but I don’t have the courage to let, my D23 IBM 386 laptop color screen and many other 1,100Sq.Ft. worth of plague, go
Tsk Tsk. No wonder you have a generally male disease. You have too much testosterone. Next time be very careful when you call some one names online. You dont have a clue who it is and how much they know about you. Comprende ?
ask me if I care, if you know anything about me or not. I say what I wanna say, and everyone is free to give their opinion. So next time think before threatening me.
Read your sentence above it will show you wat kinda disease you have, I feel nothing but sorry for you.
chalain .. i feel a LIL bit less embarrased from this thread..
angry wife, I am sure you guys don’t have to go through as much trouble as I will be having with my hubby dearest
