What Have I done?

[moreau]

Well, I just ordered a Rainbow Runner G off the Matrox Online Store.

This is less than a month after making an unexpected purchase of a G400 DH 32.

My wife is going to flip.

This is where I need all you MURCers and MURCettes to pat me on the back and say, "It's OK Charles, any sane person would have done the same thing. Besides, your wife will love you when you get all that great camcorder footage of your two lovely children digitized in time to send those christmas e-mails", or something like that.

I think I have a hardware addiction. !)

Damn I hope you are Good at Video editing or a Quick study.... You better have a Damn good presentation OR a VERY understanding wife
Hey, tell her you bought it to make her Xmass present...

hehehe... Maybe you ought to get that Credit card bill before she sees it )
I wish I had that lapse in judgement, would be sweet to have a G400 and a RRG

eh eh eh ...

maybe you should point out to your wife that you now can edit your vacation- / wedding- / B-day- and even <FONT SIZE=1>(dare I say it ...)<FONT SIZE=2> XXX-Movies ...

...

if that doesn't calm her down, you should admit that you've become a MURC-o-holic and need a doctor to set you back straight.

Cheers,

The only thing is, how do I sneak past a new 19" monitor. After all, what's dual head with out a monitor attached to both...

Send her on vacation (since you're spending money anyway ) and when she comes back, tell her you won it in a lottery

Don't worry, it's OK Charles, any sane person would have done the same thing. Besides, your wife will love you when you get all that great camcorder footage of your two lovely children digitized in time to send those christmas e-mails.
