Let's say that you need to spend $333.32 between now and the end of next month on something "teckie" It doesn't HAVE to be computer related... but at least pretty close to it... and no Software.

Looking for good/fun suggestions... Grin

If it were me I would be putting that $$$ toward a new A64 set up.

LOL... Ok more details.... I just wanted to get some out of the air suggestions first.

My employer has program called "Extended Benfits"... basically you get a certain amount of $$$ every 6 months (that has to be spent by fiscal years end) to buy a certain approved list of tech related stuff (there is a few non-tech things like gym membership, credit card awards programs, etc..). For the remainder of this year I get a pro-rated amount of $333.32 to spend or lose... and I ain't losing it.

I don't need a video card as I have a 9800 Pro right now that is more card than I need. No real interest in a MP3 player, my PDA will do that (so that takes care of two thing... Grin

). And I already have a pretty good camera, printer is a maybe...

And I think a 17" LCD would be a waste for me, I'd rather get a 19" one... seems a better deal considering I have a really good 17" Sony monitor right now.

I'm thinking about the A64 type setup... but the question is... how much is enough to really notice it going from my current Dual 1800 MP system??

Here is the approved buy list

can you put it towards your hosting / isp fees? its on the list... maybe just use it for bills you already have?!?

Yea... Misty's work pays for the ISP... I could technically "double bill".... Grin

But that wouldn't cover all the $$$

Ahem! Why isn't BEER on the list? It's as effective at relieving job related stress as massages,yoga and health clubs.
And why no golf fees?
