Stuff I want.
Here is some electronicky type stuff that I want. In no particular order.
I think a 9x12 would work. Although Im not sure. With all the extra plastic on the edge, might as well get a 12x19 and have less wasted space. Have wanted to mess with a tablet for years and years and years.
Sony TV for Living Room and Sony TV for Bedroom
and
Dont really need either. I get by on my ghetto TV setup. A stupid tube in the living room. And then hauling my 20" monitor from my compy to my bedroom to watch movies. But both of these would be nice some day.
Im not sure that I want the d80 definitely. Something in that class of digital cameras though. I already have a point and shoot. But I would like to kick up the photographic possibilities a notch.
A Digital Piano / Midi Controller
Sure, the CP300 is a much better setup. And the p70 is about as bare bones as you can get. But I dont really know how to play piano. So I dont think I could personally justify the $2k price tag on the 300. But the $600 tag on the 30 is much more reasonable.
Be nice to have the midi control so that I can experiment with a lot of extra instrumentation.
Ya. So thats about $5k worth of stuff right there. Heh. However, I think it would all last me a very long time. But ... Im probably just gonna have to wait to start buying any of this stuff. For a little bit at least. But I have already been waiting so long. Its not that big of a deal anymore.

I love my D80 :) Gorgeou camera.. but you should go into a shop and hold one and see if it feels right in your hands. I tried the Canon 400d (I think it's called something else in USA) and I didn't get on with it, plus almost all the reviews I read pointed me in the Nikon direction.
Also I want a tablet thingy too!
AND televisions in the bedroom? Can I just say passion killer?!!? We got rid of ours and life is MUCH nicer all round without one in! Just my opinion!! :)
Jode - totally not a passion killer. I am more than capable of resisting the TV. I didnt even have one for years. Its not really a problem. For me.
Luckily I have an awesome camera store just 6 blocks up the street :) I would definitely hold it before I bought it. Thats basically one reason I never buy stuff online :)
Yabbut, what did you hate about the large tablet? Its physical size?
I think a lot of the models are basically the same total size. Its just the actionable area is smaller on some.
It's not about resisting the tv in my case, it's more since we came back from our yurt holiday, and not having a tv in our room was bliss. The room isn't so dusty and I *personally* feel it zaps the fresh energy out of a room. I wish I could actually throw all our tv's away sometimes!
I love having a room purely for sleeping, lovin' and maybe reading! I love my little boudoir! ;)
p.s. do you really never buy -anything- online?! Even if it's cheaper?
You know ... Im normally all about the ambiguous "vibe" thingy for rooms. But I have never felt anything off coming from a TV.
Considering I will do any of those things you mentioned ... just about anywhere in the house ... I dont need a special place just for them :)
I dont care if its cheaper. You cannot replace face-to-face interaction. And instant gratification is good - when I finally decide to buy something big (usually after tormenting myself on it forever) ... I want it *right* then.
