When![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bunnikins was letting me take hardware home, I was able to hide the extent of it. I could kid myself that it was under control - I could keep it in the computer room, and keep my "real" life seperate. I wasn't addicted - I didn't *need* new hardware, it was just fun to play with. Right?
The first danger sign, of course, is when those you love suggest that you might have a problem. At that point, you either seek help, or you start to hide things. So the powermac 7200 (heck, UniMelb were *giving* them away) became the third computer on my desk at work. It's for testing browser compatibility across a broad range of platforms. Honest. And it's a bit old and slow, so the beige G3 arriving today is so I can run Mac OSX (albeit slowly) for an even broader range. Honest. And I *probably* won't buy the Mac laptop my workmate is selling, but it's cheap(ish), I have a tax return coming in, and, well, I always wanted to be a Mac weenie. It's not addiction, I'm just broadening my horizons beyond the narrow world of Intel.
Honest.
I can stop anytime I want. But we really need a decent printer....
