   Considering I just payed $1300 for an iMac, $250 for a new iPod, and $250 for a Wii, I think Im a little above average

   I am definitely over. I am spending £1,500 (about $3000) on a macbook pro this year, and then there is all the other stuff. I am definitely over $1,200

   Last year was over $5000, I think I’ll hit an additional $7000 this year..tech toys are addictive.

   I’ve spent over $1000 on building my computer this year, let alone anything else and the rest of the year.

    $12,000 a year is more like it for some of us.

    Luckily my better half is just as much of tech/gadget junkie as myself.

    I don’t usually have a hard time explaining how the new toys are worth the cost.

    We could probably supply a small third world country with our old stuff. :)

    The PS3 is growing on me. I am moving UEASYcentral to new digs in a few months so my gadget habit will need to decrease :(
