End of Generation Purchases

I think many of you who are ustude will notice that I tend to buy as the next generation of devices come out.  For example, I got my HP Media Server just as the new ones have come out.

There are lot of reasons why.  Yes, I like to be on the cutting edge sometimes, BUT first releases tend to be a bit buggy.  Also you can usually get a good cost reduction.  I have on each of the major purchases, my phone and the HP Media Server.

I recommend purchasing this way to both my coworkers and my students — in fact when it comes to OS's, I alway recommend purchasing AFTER SP1, or if you can be patient, SP2.
