If you owned Beta when it first came out you were actually ahead of the times.
I have three cars (all paid off,) two flat screen TV's, two HD-DVD players, a PS3, Netflix, Ipod Nano, Passport 8500X radar detector (second one I bought, first one was stolen,) three laptops (one is good, one's in the s***ter, and the other one I just sold to the roommate,) but I JUST got off my parents cell phone plan (I was really getting around to it,) and got rid of my silly, cheap generic Kyocera phone for an LG with a QWERTY keyboard.
I used to get so many questions about my s*** phone, but I don't really use it as much as everyone else.
