I am fighting a totally consumeristic desire lately - I want my own computer.
I do not need my very OWN computer. I share a laptop with my DH, and we each have iPads through work, and we each have iPhones! There is no way we are Internet-less, EVER!! There is absolutely no reason I need my own computer.
But I want to keep my computer perfect and just the way I WANT IT. And to never have to rush to finish something so that DH can use it, or whatever.
We are both old school and prefer the computer to the touch devices for most Internet-ing. We both really like having a keyboard, and it is easier to do some of what we do on the computer, although I am getting into some of my regular computer-y stuff (which could be a whole additional thread about timesucks) on the iPad.
