Never mind what I was gonna say - I want this! All hail the Preciousssssssssss

A really high end GPS unit. And new tires for my VW bus.

A week with this lovely lady:

Sadly, she runs $50k for a week's charter, so I think I'll have to do without.*

*Unless I win the lottery.

This and this.

Somewaht more realistically...

A T-Mobile Sidekick. Although I always remind myself that as an office worker, I am never more than an hour without a computer anyway, so I really don't need a portable internet device.

One of these.

And things I might actually get (I guess it's kind of shiny...)

(sorry, I have a non-standard definition of gadget. mine is "a noun that makes me grin")

The yet-to-be-released Canon Elph SD700 IS. Oh yeah!

And a new Escape Hybrid wouldn't be too bad either. Or, if I'm dreaming, how about a pretty not-new Ford GT40? Or why not a Confederate Motorcycles B91 Wraith. Heck yeah!

Gonna get me a MacBook Pro ASAP. I've been using Macs for the last 15 or so years but I have never had a laptop.

Anything less than a pen or a musical instrument is a gadget. ;-)

Ditto CE. My Mac Mini is fantastic and all, but I can't take it with me everywhere I go. (Actually, I can, but my monitor's another story.) Once the Intel iBooks roll out, I am going to have to exercise consummate self-control not to pick one up immediately.

The sony reader.

I've wanted a decent, full featured PDA for years and years.

WiFi/LAN, camera, GPS, audio in/out, browser, apps, portable keyboard and/or thumbboard, and enough storage to actually be useful as an MP3 player and camera. 10-20gb might do it for now, but I want more.

The Palm LifeDrive comes close, but I hear that thing is kinda hokey, and PalmOS 5 would probably just piss me off 'cause I &heart; PalmOS 3.5 and under. (Tiny, stable, and friendly.)

Additional pluses would be the ability to run real audio apps, decent expansion and I/O ports, etc.

It doesn't have to connect to cellular networks, 'cause I can't afford to feed those kinds of bills really, and I'd end up with $1000 data bills unless it was unlimited.

The sony reader is scrumptious, too, but at the current prices I'd rather have a traditional LCD PDA that does much more. I already read tons of books on my low-res PalmIII color, and have no issues at all - the Weasel reader is an awesomely powerful reader app.

Oh yeah, I thought the MacBook Pro was kind of a given.

I don't know if it's that I'm too poor to set my sights on something or that I don't need something that costs a lot of bones.

Sure, I'd like love an upgrade on everything I own, but there really isn't anything that I really want right now, gadgets wise (unless "true love" comes in a shiny cardboard box with a molded recycled pulp-fibre insert, nestled in thin foamed rubber and encased in polypropylene, perhaps supplemented with a glossy book-bound insert - with an all-inclusive ten-year extended warranty).
