The dysfunctional moo... happy like a pig in slop

So.... what can I say? Moo. OK, so maybe I still haven't recovered from the baring of my soul when I posted "Impulse Control Problems" or maybe this is just another control problem as we plumb the depths of darkness that is me and my thirst for perfect technology...

So it's not enough to spend $600 on a cutting edge Treo 650 (1.5 years ago) I also do an accessory blitz... extra power cord for the office, sd memory card, leather holster... then, while I liked the holster... it's not exactly what I wanted.. so I get the custom Vaja black leather case with my full name engraved on it (awesome for $130)... then I buy chatteremail and forward my e-mail to an IMAP server so that I have the same stuff everywhere. Then I find that my Jabra bt headset doesn't function properly and purchase a Sony Ericsson 660... which is obviously built for small ears because it really hurt to wear. Then I bought the Treo Headset and all was right with the world... donated the damned SE headset for charity at the CyberPros event. Of course the extra stylus and screen protectors (the really good ones)

Now, I've purchased the HTC TyTn (of course cutting edge... $700) and because I've learned my lesson... I waited until I received it to decide what accessories I might want. (Well, except for the 2gb micro sd card) I've received it and dumped chatteremail and the IMAP server, picked up a hosted exchange server. The case that it came with is perfectly acceptable... but I found a brown leather one that I need to have... Oh and don't forget those screen protectors! Fortunately this one came with an extra stylus, and it can be powered from the wall or while syncing via the mini USB interface of which I have extras because of my cool (accessorized) MP3 player.

I don't even want to tell you about my two Tablet PC adventures.

So now I have a perfectly accessorized Treo 650 sitting here collecting dust (I think I may do eBay... see if anybody named Angus Woodbury wants to pay a premium for that awesome engraved case)

It's a good thing I'm not into cars...

Oh Angus, Moo make me laugh! I'm just like you, gotta have it, want to have it. Do you like the new phone? I sure hope your ebay trick works - who knows there might be another angus woodbury out there! Yikes!

When digital cameras first came out, I remember spending $800 on the camera and almost as much for the accessories. Those accessories will get you everytime! I think I might enjoy shopping with you at the Trade Show next month!

Hey Angus,

How much for The Treo? And, will you include lesson on its use?

Man, Angus that post wore me out just reading it. Moo have a problem. But I like it:) I'm pretty sure you can get matching shoes for that HTC TyTn case. Keep on mooing.

I will be calling you to discuss the next tech purchases I have to make. I've had my Treo 650 for 2 years and it is time to move on. I'm going to give you a few more weeks with the new phone. Then I need to get an idea of your thoughts. I've been considering it.

I also need a Tablet. Your thoughts?

How about a fax/copier/scanner? I need a new one too!

Maybe you can be my new Cnet.

How much do ya want for the treo 650...and will it work with verizon????

Alexander & Eileen

The phone is the GSM version... a world phone, it worked great in Italy and Germany. It is locked to the Cingular network (somehow that can be undone so that it would also work on T-Mobile) so you would need the sim card to slip in to make it work.

Angus, the toys we need to make the world go around.....it pays to be reachable for that seller who decides at 8pm Saturday to make the offer on the house of their dreams, even when they are interrupting yours....ooops that was me!!

We make money when our customers are able to contact us to carry on business with us! So lets enjoy the toys that we us! I'm sure we could all write with a cheap pen but don't you feel better when you use that Waterman??
