Do you have T.A.D. ?

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an
unshakable, impractical devotion to a brand,
platform, product line, or programming
language. It's relatively harmless among the
rank and file, but when management is afflicted
the damage can be measured in dollars. It's
also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire
organization."

--"Enterprise Strategies" columnist Tom Yager.

Yes...I've got it. Every PC in my home and office is strictly AMD.
I spec'd them, I built them, and I love them like my children.
Help me please.....

Help me please.....

Oh, I don't think any help is called for. All of us are "guilty" by this. Why technology? Don't we have favorite, err.....Vodka brand or a favorite store or a cigar?

Me: I use Microsoft products because I think they are good value for the money.

I'd like to be addicted to a brand, but the only piece of technology that I've purchased and not had fail or been disappointed in is my Philips shelf stereo, which is the only Philips name brand toy I own. Of course Philips makes half of everything, but that's besides the point. I used to be a Sony freak, but my home stereo CD player died on me. Now that I've been disappointed by nearly everything, I'll spend idiotic amounts of money on 'high quality' technology. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I haven't had idiotic amounts of money laying around lately. I will say one thing, I am definitely a spokesperson for Lian-Li. My case rocks and if the rest are this nice, I'll never buy anything but for the rest of my days (or until something better comes along).
