Are you a gadget man?
"You can't help it if you need to get the latest gadgets. Well... perhaps it's not quite such a serious medical affliction, but scientists have found a genetic basis for some folks' burning desire to have the latest and greatest. There's even a name for it - neophilia. Apparently, some of us have elevated levels of a cellular enzyme, monoamine oxidase A, and are more in need of stimulation from new things." - Slashdot

@ least this is a cool disease. I like it when new items come out & also finding the best little gadget or what I need (or dont really need but want).
example: ALL of my camping stuff, whoa. Good down bag, nice internal frame pack, nice folding stove, knife gadgets...its all awesome

The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.

My monoamine oxidase A enzyme levels must be right on target. Not only do I not have all the latest gadgets, I still have the blender I got for our wedding 26 years ago, vinyl records and a turntable to play them on and an answering machine (as apposed to voice mail). No cell phone, no TIVO, no video games, no I-pod (I'm not even sure what this is 
). I am so last century!!
