my Macbook Pro only goes places I'm comfortable with, home, maybe neighborhood coffee shop, other friends houses, and that's it.
My Thinkpad X61s goes everywhere. I took it to NYC, walked even drunkenly walking around in the middle of the night with it in my backpack in Brooklyn and Manhattan and on the subway. I've hesitated upgrading my iPhone 3GS just because it's starting to look a bit busted but gets me along perfectly fine. I was using it to sync photos while there to Dropbox in case either/or got stolen.
Of course, I've had my car broken into three times, and each time has made me more and more anal about it. The first time was the worst though, a 1965 Fender Bandmaster at work on christmas eve, worth about $800. What was shitty about that was I had just got out of band practice, hadn't gotten home, it was in a very conspicuos, non-hidden place on a very busy day (I worked at a grocery store) and nobody saw anything.
Other times were much less severe, a shitty CD deck ($40), some CDs (maybe $60 I spent?) and a crappy coat. Mostly I just got sick of replacing the window, but that was only $15, so it didn't matter so much.
- chrisjsmith 15y agoIronically I paid 20 GBP for my last car - worked fine for a whole year (bar an oil leak that cost 10GBP to sort out) then someone nicked it. Wasn't particularly bothered - I don't use a car any more.
- jessedhillon 15y agoAm I reading this right? It cost you 20 pounds to buy a car?
- chrisjsmith 15y agoYes - a Rover 416SLI with 75,000 miles on the clock from an auction. Like one of these: http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Rover416.jpg http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/R...
