Also the Kindle now has U.S. and International Wireless so you can download books in 100 countries, or so they say…

@Stephanie: That’s a good idea about craigslist. I can’t wait until we move to the States & I can get one..

@Tazim: HOLY COW! $1200 camcorder.. it looks awesome.

@darrell: An e-reader for me is such a great idea, and I can definitely get books for free from the Gutenberg Project, but the actual price is scaring me off. Thanks for your kind words!

@Andrea: I didn’t know they came out with the Nook. But I’m in Canada… I don’t know how these things would work if they aren’t released here.

@Strawberry @ StrawberrySays.com: @Lisa: I’m going to give it a second look. I really liked the idea of a touch screen ereader without buttons.. I hate buttons.. but then again, in winter, buttons might be a good solution when I have mittens on.

@Kin: I’ll take a look at that model. We don’t have much in way of Roland models here in Montreal, and that Roland was the only one in stock Figures huh? Thanks!

@Jen: I wonder if that deal is here in Canada too

@Foxie: BF bought a D300 and he loves it. He says he wanted to buy a better quality “pro” camera, so that he wouldn’t have to upgrade. Personally, I think he spent more than he should’ve. It’s overkill.

My dad has the D200, and now he wants the D700.. there goes that upgrade-itis again.

And another friend of mine has a D90 and loves it. He says it’s exactly the price and size he wanted.

First off, a lovely Bride Zeta III seat for my 240SX. Love love love. Definitely need it, since the original seat has degraded quite a bit, and all of the foam padding is messed up and extremely uncomfortable unless you sit in some weird, awkward position. Getting one would be a big relief on my back, as well as a huge step towards prepping her for competition. What’s stopping me? $860 price tag when she’s not fully paid off yet. (I have insurance money that would pay for the seat, but I’m becoming more and more disenchanted with traditional work and would like to back off my hours at work. So I’m thinking I’ll pay her off with the money instead and work on the seat afterwards. Shouldn’t take me too too long, since the motivation is great!!!)

Then I’m craving a dSLR hardcore. Looking at a Nikon D40, but I’m not entirely positive yet… All I know is I can see myself dishing out up to $600 on the camera, but then there’s the accessories and lenses to think of… And it just adds up so quickly after that!! But if I can get this and really start to throw myself into my photography (Backing off hours at work to do this, thus the whole seat debacle.) I can work on building up the sort of freelance life I crave. I want all the freedom of freelancing, and I’m willing to put in the work, I’m just scared of giving up a known source of income. Even if the move would be a good one.

Though, I was thinking of buying the dSLR as a reward to paying off the 240… I’m just so torn over that whole thing. ._. Sowwie for another long, rambling comment, I just wish I could talk it over with someone who’s financially savvy and such! (My hubby and Mom are great, but being more emotional than rational about it, when I’m already emotionally thinking through it and want a more rational discussion. Sigh.)

One thing I’d like to get is a new car but I need to wait until we pay off our other car. My Civic can still squeeze out a couple thousand miles.

If you just want the basic piano function without all the keyboard features, why don’t you consider a Roland RP-101 (http://www.roland.com/products/en/RP101/index.html)? It goes on avg. $1,500 (in USD at least) with a stand already. Extra seat is $100 at most. Your cost is almost half of Roland RD-700.
