<< Have you guys come up with any 'new' excuses to stay on top of the product cycle? >> Why is it an excuse? If you can't keep up with the products your company and its competitors sell, how can you make an informed decision whether you want to hold or sell? On that note, anyone know where I can get some shares of Porsche? Piranha

Have you guys come up with any 'new' excuses to stay on top of the product cycle? I do a little PC upgrading and repair on the side and use the proceeds to fuel my habit. Works for me. No computer money comes out of the family budget unless it is reimbursed via "Mike's Computing." Another option is to sell stuff. And finally, if you match your spending dollar-for-dollar for her to spend on stuff like trips to see her mother, it keeps you from getting your eyes scratched out. Curbstone

Re: New board purchases - I'm planning on the "We can buy a new PC for $3,000 or I can keep the old clunker but buy a $400? Voodoo Rampage to get the same performance" excuse. Of course this kinda kills getting the new PC :( On the other hand, there's the old tax paying season strategy - I have to take money out to pay Uncle Sam for all the money we made on our TDFX stock (white lie, little lie, shameless lie, we'll see) so I figure we could round the number out and buy a new board with some of the money.
