The Netgear router would have lasted longer than 13 months?
To be fair, I was perfectly pleased with it's performance up until two weeks ago when it started showing problems. I tried resetting it, restoring default settings, downgrading firmware, talking nice to it - nothing seemed to work.
I bought another Extreme simply to avoid having to set up my network again (by loading the old config file onto the new router). We must have 20+ wifi devices in the house and it's a real pain in the butt to reset all of their network connections with a new router.
Had my LDS rig up a shock-cord necklace for my secondary regulator. I had to deal with an out-of-air situation a little while ago and the holder that came with the new reg I got only managed to get in the way. Won't be making that mistake again.
I went slightly "retro" for some but the reward is priceless. 
I missed my old N64 and with the speakers I have now, I never realized how much low end punch the old system really had! Some of the games I picked up give my sub a workout just as if I was watching a movie on BD.
The only shame is I wish there was a legal way to enjoy these games at a much better resolution. No emulator has gotten some of the effects right on Bad Fur Day.
Not pictured, ten other N64 classics!

Not my latest purchase per se, but since it's my birthday today, here's one of the things I got.

Just to further confirm your assessment of my state of (in)stability...
The tamper is specifically made for the Strada filter basket. The Strada basket hole pattern is made to 1 micron tolerances. It comes with a report of the post production quality control optical scan, and has a QR code stamped in so you can get the report later (if you lose the one that came with the basket), with both graphs and text measurements.
The tamper is 58.33-58.35mm, specifically made for VST and Strada baskets. It's made to +/- 0.05mm variance, and comes with a report.
And if you're going to get the tamper...well, you need the tamper cradle for proper tamping...right!?

Mmmm....good stuff. I still have mine and refuse to part with it. Amazingly it's still holding up after all these years. As long as I have Mario Kart and Zelda, I'll never get rid of my N64.
Sure...right...delicious stuff.
If your intention is never to have these people as guests again, that's the stuff that will do it!!
In fact, if your goal is never to see or have any communication ever again with these folks, you're on the right track.
OMG...I think you have contaminated my computer!!!
Most of my guests have tea. When I do have a coffee drinker round quite often I find the stuff has gone hard and I have to chip it off with a spoon. We don't get many guests.....
Sold all of my DSLR gear recently, and since I was traveling last week decided to purchase this little guy.
