shopping at convention, was Re: It was all my fault

[Z! Reinhardt]

You'll have to be a rich kid the first few times in this candy store ...!

Seriously -- the more you get into upgrading your present tools, and seeing
just what the level of quality is available, the faster you will spend more
money.  It sounds like a financial nightmare, but keep in mind that you
pretty much get what you pay for.

Eventually you'll get to where you buy very few new tools and toys at
conventions.  By then it may be more of a matter of replacing something that
you actually wore out or somehow lost.

Hi charles,

Are you kidding?  You'll feel like a kid in a candy store.  Before you leave
home, decide how much you can afford to spend on new tools.  Then be amazed
at how many different ways you can rationalize going over your limit!

enjoy,
