And it's sort of a reinforcement-learning punishment, to force me to better learn these lessons:
  • technology improves. The great device you see now is not the end-all and be-all. (Corollary: seldom should you buy spares.)
  • technology prices deflate. That device that is priced at half off what it was yesterday is not necessarily a must-buy.
Great advice. I'm trying to stop myself buying the latest Kindle 7 (is that the right terminology?) They have just released the basic Kindle in white on amazon.cn and it looks so alluring.
