lol, i'm the same way, we need a Geek's Anonymous group or something. I switched to the Touch and although I now have less headaches and havent checked my Ram in like a month I still have my Mogul that I have yet to send back.
My sickness is compelling me to keep it. The excitement of reflashing Rom's and tweaking to try to see if it will come to life! (ie Transformer) I miss!
Time sink?? well maybe but after quitting WoW & EQ this PPC hobby is a blessing to my girl.
