Anybody remember the Turbo-Grafx 16? No? Then you realize why I feel burned by it.

Paul, I think you are alright. The display wasn’t that expensive and you have had six month use out of it. I’d wait a generation and then upgrade.

But version A Apple products are a nightmare from Yikes on up.

I’m completely the opposite when it comes to early adoption – we (my family) always waits until absolutely necessary to upgrade. The only reason any of our computers that we bought have XP on them is because we waited until we needed new ones before buying. And when we bought them, Service Pack 2 had been out for a long time.

BTW, Microsoft has SP3 in the works. I think they have either a beta or a release candidate available for testing. Oh woops – betas are usually unstable!

My dell 30″ is rocking so far but now I’m going to be a little worried! I had early adopter issues with the iPhone…I got one for free from my job (which I’m no longer at anymore) and it was fun for a little while but as a phone I was very unsatisfied.

Well, like windows – then always wait until they have released SP 2 or 3 before start using it… :-)

I always wait for the second version to come out. I’m not jumping on the iPhone bandwagon just yet, i’ll wait til it has 3G and/or a bigger hard drive. I think I might upgrade my MacBook for a MacBook Pro though…And I’m debating on pickin up the Dell 2407 for Xmas, we’ll see.

A 250 GB drive for Â£500, the MiniDisk player, and MacFUSEâ€¦ My my mini away- was probably my fault, and in the end I replaced it with an iMac so not all bad.

I was an early adopter of the Macbook Pro too. I had heat and battery issues. Both times I had to argue with the kids at the “genius bar”. In the end I got a new logic board (fans weren’t coming on) and a battery. I had to ask the manager on duty to replace my battery that was like a month out of warranty.

It’s why I wasn’t an early adopter of the iPhone, let someone else deal with the headaches :)

you can sell it now. Just like you did with he iMac and buy the new one when it comes out.

Oh and the iPhone and same early adopter issue when i bought the Dell 2005WFP panel.

iPhone. Although I love it, I know I’ll regret it as soon as Steve releases one with 3G and video capabilities.

Well, to all of you early adopters … there’s always something better around the corner. Being the suckers that we are, we always buy the latest. But we also know more than most people when it comes to technology and technology trends. I know many people that never get around to buying a new computer because they’re waiting for the upgrade. Speaking of suckers … :S Anyway, that’s why people pay us for our knowledge, and we keep spending the money on the latest gadgets. And (hopefully) one day we can afford more than just buying the latests gadgets. :) Hehe!

Anyone remember Game.com? If I had waited a little longer, I would have realized it was doomed from the start. But I was just a dumb kid.

I totally saw this yesterday and thought about you… Poor Stammy.
I was an earlier adopter of (even pre-ordered) my current alienware laptop, and the build quality is really poor.

Ha, I beat you all. I was an early Windows Vista adopter.

Now I run Mac OS X Tiger and it seems that I’ll be waiting for 10.5.1 till I’ll upgrade. I’ve learned my lesson :)

I am a MOTO addict, or should I say RAZR addict. I’ve been the first to get the V3 razr as well as the V3i version as soon as it hit the market. A week later and the prices would hit rock bottom here in India. So, this time I’m waiting and trying hard to resist the RAZR 2 .
