Professional counsellors say the problem with any addictive behaviour is there's no such thing as enough. For example, if a person is addcited to making $$$$, when the first $1M gaol is achieved it doesn't satisfy, so they think they need another ... and another ... and another ... ad infinitum.
The psychiatrist Karl Jung says that addicted persons are trying to fulfill an inner psychic or spiritual need with the object of their addcition, whether it be material or intellectual, and it never works.
So why do I want a third computer when I already have two that are over-kill for what I do?
I don't do gaming, or even watch movies on my PCs. So why have I got an extreme mobo, that takes up to 48GB of RAM and can use SLI bridging for mulitple graphics cards, when I've only got 12GB of RAM & one graphics card? And an i7-960CPU that isn't extreme but can be over-clocked and comes up equal with the i7-965 extreme on the Futuremark Benchmark tests, when I don't even overclock it?
Hmmmmmm? HELP! Could it be I just like supporting computer retailers?
