just wondering what's on everyone's wish list in the near future.
can be anything... a car, house, gadget, clothes, etc.

just bought a C2Q PC so a laptop or this TV is probably my next big ticket purchase.

Replacing our carpet with hardwood & travertine. That'll cost around $10k.

Otherwise, bought some artwork by Romero Britto that costed around $100.

just bought 260GTX 2 days ago
and dual 2209WA Dell monitors yesterday.

nothing like a car, or anything :p

Might pick up a few servers though, things seem to be expanding quickly with my little business venture.

$100 isn't a big purchase. I don't know about my next one, but I did buy a $500 bottle of Hennessy Paradis cognac last night. I was in a celebratory mood... Tasty stuff.

Actually, my next big purchase will probably be a new computer build coming up in May/June. I met someone who does custom case work, so he's going to design a case for me and I'm going to build a rig to go in it. Should be pretty sweet.

I just paid over $1K for a new set of tires yesterday, so I'm going to try to hold back on new purchases for a little while.

No idea. I buy only when I need something and currently I don't need anything. Last thing that I bought was a bunch of bike gear (pump, water bottle, holder and tools) that came close to $100 and before that a number of DSLR lenses/accessories that were much much more expensive. Amazon still has EF 85mm f1.8 lens I ordered 3 weeks ago waiting to be shipped to me (I chose free shipping), I wonder how much of the delay is due to free shipping and how much is due to the fact that I placed an order at $355, and current price is $422. Maybe they are hoping I'll cancel. Fat chance.

Well I'm taking my Mom out for dinner for her birthday on Saturday and that will probably be a couple hundred bucks or so for the 2 of us.
