This is why I
a) put off replacing still-functional technology items
2) buy 'last year's model' at reduced price

I just can't make the numbers work for buying cutting edge stuff. I'd rather wait for the bugs to get worked out (or found out!) and pay less for a more robust piece.
I recently stepped into the DSLR world with a Canon D300 for $185. It does all that I need it to do. When new, they were $999. smile
