I had a conversation yesterday I thought interesting (yet pointless):
How has your personal collection of tech stuff evolved over the past 5 years? -that was the question...the measure was how many of specific "stuff" we own today that we couldn't have owned then. We kept our examples within the realm of things most people own so stuff like SACD players and pre/pros were left out of the loop.
Remote controls:
5 years ago I probably had a total of 5 (2 TVs, DVD, CD, & receiver)
Today I have more than I care to count...including 7 currently in use and sitting on my coffee table (believe it or not that clutter includes both a clutter-busting Pronto and the MX-700!! -I have no excusses )
DVD players:
5 years ago these were a rare commodity. I had a basic Panasonic version I paid a whopping $600 for!! No wonder I had only one!
Today I have 5 (2 dedicated DVD, Xbox, PS2, & PC).
Hard Drives:
5 years ago I had one. I think it was only 15 gigs.
Today I have at least 9 -and I think that's missing a few (5 in PC, Mac, iPod, ReplayTV, Xbox)...the guy I was talking to had over 20 (counting his Tivo units with multiple HD's).
What else?
