What did you most recently buy?

I just ordered a Zippo, branded by Pantera's Reinventing The Steel album. My favorite Pantera album, on a Zippo. Neato.

Badassery.

i got a 52" plasma tv the other day, and i also use it as a monitor for my computers.

it is very nice to fly in my my flight simulator on a 52" screen.

i also am playing "brothers in arms" on it. it is fantastically absorbing to have a large fraction of my view field occupied by the graphics.

I think my last purchase was some Coke Zero, or Pepsi 2litre. My next purchase will be for my gaming computer in the cooling department. No matter what I try as a temporary measure, it doesn't work. Even under clocking, but I have a feeling the 1MB cache per core doesn't help. It could be the HT speeds, but I even lowered them... ahhh, well...

$5 for a quarter tank? It took about £10 to get mine at around the 3 qtr mark, but my tank was a 9.5Gallon tank and I use premium fuel of the higher grades.

Huge screen? I wish I had a 20(something) inch screen :(

May I say something about those large screens, no personal negative critique of course, but looking at myself, such a large screen has little purpose for me. I would miss out maybe 80% of what is shown on said screen. I would see detail, detail, detail (1,2,3), for my eyes tend to look through a tunnel mostly (glaucoma here I come).

I really prefer small screens and I'm looking for a netbook (+/- 12", hands won't allow any smaller) at the moment. Not saying that will be my next purchase, I patiently (predatory) await my chance, processor and price wise.
