My "play" money is limited, what with mortgages, kids, travel etc all competing for some of my cash, so I try to get the most "bang for my buck" as well as be able to try out new toys.
For example I just bought an Android tablet to play with for what amounts to small money in the Amigaworld. It'll give me a nice portable UAE platform and a place to test out apps as I want to start developing for Android as well as iOS. I love Amiga but I love the 21st Century technology as well.
