Sushi Money 寿司的钱

The tech-mania is amazing to watch.   I’m a reformed early adopting tech-junkie who loved the latest gadgets when they first came out.  Heck, my first computer was a disk swapping Macintosh I picked up new-in-the-box in 1987.  That little machine changed my life- mostly for the better.  I subsequently bought a Powerbook laptop and a host of other Apple accessories until about 1998 when I couldn’t stand spending the money any more.  I went to the PC and have never looked back in terms of cost and interoperability.  Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Mac and may still get another when the time comes.  But my Windows machines have done a fine job for me over time at a lower cost.  Now, what I should have done back in the ’80’s is buy some Apple stock.  Every couple of years I would say that… I should have bought….科技躁狂症是惊人，以watch.â â我aâ改革的早期采用技术junkie谁被爱的最新工具时，他们首先来到out.â赫克，我的第一台计算机是一个磁盘交换的Macintosh我挑选了新的-在- -方块中1987.â小机器改变了我的一生-大多为better.â我随后买了的PowerBook膝上型电脑和一系列其他的苹果配件，直到1998年，当我不能站在开支的钱任何more.â i到PC和从来没有回头看在费用和interoperability.â不要误会我的意思，我喜欢Mac和可能仍然会买一台另一个适当的时候comes.â但我的Windows机器上做了精细的工作，我随着时间的推移在一个较低的cost.â现在，我应该做的，早在'80 ' S是购买一些苹果stock.â每两，三年我会说… …我应该买了… … 。 I should have bought… and here it is 2007 and I still haven’t owned a share in all that time.  Of course I never bought Wal-Mart in the early 1980’s when a friend recommended it to me.  Or the time I spent on a treadmill with another friend in the early 1990’s who really liked Starbucks and Microsoft.  But I did own Cisco for a while!  Around 1994 I bought several hundred shares… I knew they would be a great company… but those shares went away after liquidating some funds for family reasons.  I once looked at what they’d be worth now… that was not a good thing to do.  I look back and see that many opportunities presented themselves.  And many other things that I “consumed” along the way.  Somewhere in the last 7 years I got serious about my future and buckled down, and have made decent progress toward my retirement goals.  We all learn lessons- now I’m just trying to learn them a little faster, with less pain in terms of opportuntiy cost!我应该买…在这里，这是2007年我还没有拥有的份额在所有time.â当然我从来不买，沃尔玛在20世纪80年代初的时候，一个朋友推荐给me.â ，或当时我花了一跑步就与另一位朋友在上世纪90年代初的谁真的喜欢星巴克和microsoft.â ，但我自己的思科了一会儿！ â左右， 1994年我买了几百股…我知道他们会成为一个伟大的公司…但这些股票到远离后，变现部分资金，为家庭reasons.â我曾经看过他们想要什么值得现在…这是不是一件好事，以do.â我回首和看到很多的机会和许多themselves.â otherâ的东西，我“消耗量”沿way.â某处，在过去七年我得到认真的态度，我的前途和屈曲下来，并取得了体面的进展，对我的退休goals.â大家都吸取经验教训-现在，我只是想要了解他们快一点，少疼痛的条款opportuntiy成本！

So where am I going with this?  I WANT AN IPHONE!  Okay, not really.  Well, yes really but I’m not going to get one.  I tried explaining all the cool things it does to my wife.  A raised eyebrow and a quizzical look told me she didn’t get it.  Or maybe she did, but thought half a mortgage payment was a little much for a neat little gadget that we don’t really need.  “What’s wrong with the phone you have?”  “Ummm… well… nothing I guess… but… “  Realistically, I’ma little more patient these days, or maybe a little more realistic?  I know at some level that the prices will come down, the bugs worked out and other products will come along that I’ll like just as much.  So I’ll wait to see how it all works out.  Our phone plan is now up however, and we are month-to-month with our current carrier.  I’m anxious to find a lower cost alternative… alas, it won’t be with the iPhone.  The plans sound great, but forking over $500 for the gadget is too rich for me.  Hmmm… maybe Santa will be good to me this year…所以我在何处去这问题呢？ â我想拥有一个！ â好，不really.â好，是真的，但我不想得到one.â我试图解释所有酷的事情，这是否对我wife.â一提出的眉毛和quizzical看看告诉我，她没有得到it.â ，或者她，但想到半按揭付款是一个小很多整洁不大的小工具，我们真的不need.â “什么的错的电话你有吗？ “ â ” ummm … …没有什么，以及我猜… …但是… … “ â从实际出发，我多一点耐心这些天来， orâ可能多一点现实吗？ â我知道在某种程度说，价格将开始下降，错误的工作和其他产品将沿着这条我会想，正如much.â ，所以我会等到看它如何所有工程out.â我们的电话的计划是，现在不过，和我们一个月到本月与我们目前的carrier.â我急于找到一个成本较低的替代…唉，它不会与iphone.â计划，健全的伟大，但分杈超过500元 小工具是太丰富，为我。 â hmmm …也许圣诞老人会好，我今年…
