For A While There, I Betrayed The Capitalist Dream

Few weeks ago, I was walking in store and admiring the new flat-tv's. You know, those that use plasma-- or maybe LCD? Or TFT? It's so confusing these days. In front of me there was this 40" one, that cost about 2500 euros. After watching it maybe five minutes, and admiring how cool it was and thinking how much money I would need for that - indeed, how long I should work for that -- I realized I didnt really want it (I have a TV-card in my computer, and I have used it twice; the Eurovision semis and finals). I walked around the aisle; new cellphones, micro-ovens, popcorn-machines, toasters...And I didn't want any of those.
Actually, there wasnt anything I would have wanted.
After thinking this few weeks, I have identified few gadgets and things I would wish to buy. Of the nature that I actually have to save money for them. The following order is random.

1. iPod. I have MiniDisk-Walkman at the moment. It sucks ass, its so crippled with copyright-protections, that make even legal use difficult. Plus the required software is, even after five years of constant updating, still very buggy and wont work properly even with Windows XP (the only supported OS, along with Win2k). Well, Sony MiniDisk has many problems, too many to count here. If I have interest, I might write about it later on.

2. New eye-glasses. Cos the current ones are in bad condition, and I have the feeling my eyes have "grown out" of them. Expensive because I'm allergic to the standard metal-mix used in them.

3. Laptop. 'cos I don't own one, they are cool and I want a computer (well, entertainment station, really) with me to Scotland.

4. 23" flat monitor to my computer. Costs currently about 600 euros. When the price goes down to 300e, I will be the first in queue to buy it.

5. Toaster. Actually it costs something like 20 euros, but I cant be bothered to buy it, even thought I love toasted bread quite much.

With the money earned from my summerjob, Im going to buy #2 and #3, and if I still have enough money, #1 as well.
