One of the nice things I've found about getting old is that my purchases 
have become far more about what I actually need and not just because I 
can. My younger self got a Gameboy Advanced pretty much on a whim and 
I've only ever played it maybe three hours. I also managed to buy 
another portable Minidisc player even though my current one was less 
than six months old.
