Reason #638 why I hate Tek-Naw-Lo-Gee

[storytimewithjoe]

A year ago, for Giley bear’s birthday, I bought him Magellan. Why?

Cuz he wantsed it!
Cuz he hadses to have it!
Cuz it was Preciousssssssssssss!

Ludicrously, it cost me upwards of (edited because my hubby reads my journal). Yesterday, I received a catalog add that showed Magellan on sale. The ad showed thje same make and model. Regularly $399. Now $299.

SUNUVABEEYOTCH!!!!!!!!!!

Even at the NOT for sale process, it is still (edited because my hubby reads my journal), less than what I paid this time last year. When I think that the price has changed by over (edited because my hubby reads my journal) in the course of a year, it just makes me sick.

ARGH!

I hate tek-naw-lo-gee! Oy, when I think of what I could do with an extra (edited because my hubby reads my journal), I could just cry.

It's not about the money, it's about the love.


Plus, if you'd waited until now, you'd have had to listen to him whine about it for the past year. And isn't that worth the cost? :)

Wow. Harsh.

Accurate, but harsh.

I'm with your hubby on the technogeek side of things. It's not cost it's shiny new toy with blinky lights. We'll convert you one of these days. :)

Oh, soooo not possible... Joe's idea of shiny new is gold leaf or trim.

[joeguppy.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

I have no problem with edible gold leaf or some of the metallic trims. In their place.

And I actually sat down and played some on it last night. After spending 4+ hours doing website and program updates.

I thought about getting one of those lately since moving to SF all I do is get lost and take U-turns. But, when I looked at them I realized I hated them. I am not a gadget person and just using them in the store I was not into it much. Does it work well???

[joeguppy.livejournal.com]

It works very well. And it is designed for tekno-eeediots like myself. They aren't kidding when they say it is ready to work right out of the box.
