My better half is a technophobic, my philosophy is, if you can afford it, it will put a smile on our face and you need it, go buy it. Plus now that I am the wrong side of 60, every day counts to be happy. I have to say that apart from my old banger of a computer (just in case the others give up the ghost) I use all my toys, not like all those toys he has in the garage (I asked him two weeks ago for some cable ties and I am still waiting).
