"No wonder I buy so many watches," the addict says to himself. "I haven't found that special one to purge me of my discontent. But this one's it." Or maybe the next one. Or the next . . .
To add to the insanity, the addict doesn't even want to be cured because contentment leads to boredom and the "existential vacuum," as Viktor Frankl calls it.
Thus the addict wants to be content, and discontent, at the same time. And he relishes in the torment that results from this contradiction.
Laugh at yourself now.
Oh, don't worry... I go through the same thing with radios.

My Panasonic RF-888 cured me of my AM needs and longing to hear majestic, loud speaker sound.
My CCrane-SW takes care of my FM needs. I got a good model in spite of QC issues.
I feel set with my radios, but back in 2005 when I got bit by the bug I was out of control.

The RF-888 sounds better than the SRII?

Speaker on the 888 if a lot better, one of the greatest speakers ever.

I was just composing something similar for my blog, but from a different angle. Stay tuned.
