>>3175610man I don't want to rant around pointlessly, but I've enjoyed the various "gear" I have much more after I got out of that mentality; guitars, espresso machines, power drills, computer hardware, software or whatever else; get something that does the job for you, learn it, learn it's drawbacks, advantages, the market, and if you find yourself oh so constrained by the choice you've made, you can always upgrade, if that's the problem
I found that often times I was eager to get something new and shiny just because I was bored or going through a rough patch, and then realized it was way more fun to instead take what I had and learn how to use it better
overall I'm happier when I avoid these slippery slopes of consumerism

but I still encourage you to read this, it helps put things into perspective regarding typing and how long you take to type something
