SUPRISE!  An OCD programmer.  I have a few massive tech purchases to do and now I'm in full blown research mode.  I thought it was bad when I just had to do one.

After talking with some coworkers, namely Edwin, I think I may get a Canon PowerShot SD950IS.  I was playing with a Nikon CoolPix S600 at Best Buy today and it just felt cheap.  The button to shoot a picture felt as if it would cave into the camera after a month or so of pictures.  I've never gotten that feeling from both Canon's I've owned.

My camcorder I'm going to hold off until Microsoft starts the new fiscal year.  I was chatting with my buddy Rory Blyth and he recommended a Sony HDR-SR7.  It is twice the price of my old camcorder but far more awesome.  After checking amazon, there is a newer version of the SR7, the HDR-SR12.  I was also thinking about getting a Flip camcorder, they are cheap and would be nice to have incase I'm don't want to carry the SR12.

Zune, I won one in Feb so no biggy.

Earbuds, yes, this is a big deal.  I had Shure e3c's but they are now no longer being sold.  Honestly, I thought I lost them once already and literally my thought was "screw the iPod, I want my shure earbuds".  That is how much I loved them.  I can get the Shure SE210's for about $119 on Amazon.  Step down but should be as good.  the SE310's are suppose to have better bas and looks like only cost $200 on Amazon.

Work Computer ... Up in the air on this.  After talking with some team members, Gus and Edwin, who utterly love Lenovo, they want the x300 and too would like one.  They have x60s.  That had too small of a keyboard for me but the x300 has what appears to be a full size.  The Dell m1330 and the m1530's looked pretty nice along with going back to my already tried and tested T61p (I had a T60p before).

And then there is always the "who's insurance is paying for the recovery" problem.
