    I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.

      Hmmm...what if one is a gadget freak, but not an early adopter? I loves me my clunky, "old school" Forerunner 305 and "obsolete" 2 year old Mac.

      remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

            I have a 9" green screen CRT on my desk at work. I don't actually use it - but it is good for when new people start. After IT drops off the computer stuff in their cube, we hide the flat screen and put the "new guy" monitor in it's place. It's funny to see how long it takes some of them to say something.

            When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

                I can't believe anyone could use clunky old crap like that. You might as well use a sundial and an abacus. Hey, the article's right! Gadget freaks are jerks!

                On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office.  But you will wish that you'd spent more time running.  Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

                    Usually written by someone who 1) can't use/understand the gadgetry and 2) still has all of their digital clocks blinking 12:00 since they can't figure out how set them. Player haters. Personally I think my 305, 3 year old laptop, and regular cell phone (not an iPhone) is a statement of function before form. Big grin

                      I'm not a jerk, but I just learned how to hook up my laptop (2.5 years old. Still running fine.) to my HDTV (1.5 years old, still running [and first TV wife and I ever purchased -- old was was 14+ years old.]) $30 cable - a cinch. Don't know why I didn't do it earlier. Use it to watch intant Netflix instant view shows when I want, not when The Man tells me I can. We don't have cable or Tivo or dvr or any of that. Fun to see my Garmin graphs, too, and pix from my computer look great.
