Nice story about "stuff." I prefer this Dalai Lama story:

So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I bought my first Kindle (KK3g) a little over a year ago when I was traveling for two months. I thought it would be easier carrying a bunch of books on it rather that pack another suitcase for the books. After I was able to stay home, I would take my Kindle with me to work for lunchtime reading. I really got tired of leaving it at the office, so I bought another Kindle (KK3g with special offers) to be the office Kindle.
My wife liked playing games on my Kindle but didn't like the size. She preferred the Sony 350 and I bought her one for her birthday. Now she has her games and all of her books. I bought her a backup 350 when Sony was selling them for $80. She keeps the backup one in her purse and the original one stays at home.
I like the size of the Kindle screen, as opposed to the Sony screen, but I want to try the Kindle Touch. I ordered one when it was announced and it was delivered before Thanksgiving but I've been on another business trip since mid-October and won't be back home for another week.
I'm not ashamed of having multiple devices. Heck, I'll probably buy more to keep the workers happy and busy.
I'm going to go look for something to buy here in Korea that is not Korean BBQ.
