Kissing the gadget budget goodbye

CNet has a story about how women make up an ever-growing percentage of the gadget market. This is very, very bad news for married men who like their gadgets. It's tough enough to find cash for that new iPod, MacBook, Treo, and HD Tivo... now just imagine buying two of everything. It's almost enough to make a grown geek cry. Beware of spousal gadget envy! I've learned (the hard way of course) that there is no acceptable justification for giving the wife a hand-me-down iPod so you can buy a shiny new Nano.
