Oh I'd say that's certainly true. At least I know that I lose all rational thought for electrical gadgets and the like. But I somehow still constrain myself. I don't have an iPod (yet).
sure it does. When you're confronted with 10 kinds of coke, 50 types of canned peas, 6 kinds of frozen fries, 7 kinds of apples, 5 kinds of bell peppers, 15 kinds of chili peppers, 100 types of coffee, 45 flavors to put in your coffee.. 200 magazines catering to your every whim, 30 takes on the same basic plot in the book section, the amazing amount of crap in the music section, thousands of T-shirts with witty and not-so-witty sayings, 50 ways to leave your lover.. doh, did i say that?
anyway, who doesn't force their brain to have a partial shutdown while shopping?
Lies! Slander! I've NEVER found myself in a Christmas decorations store with $200 worth of glass ornaments, that I had no intention of buying. NEVER, I tell you.
unless you count Target...Damn Target! Damn them and their cute clothes, reasonable prices, convenient location...cheap toys, snack foods,books & music, video games...
Questions, questions, questions. Why isn't the article titled "People Lose Rationality While Shopping"? And if shopping makes you feel warm and fuzzy, then why are people frequently extra-stressed at Christmas when they've often done marathon shopping?
I lose it where tools are involved.
"You want those curtains installed honey?, No prob. I'll be right back. I'm gonna need a new 18 amp cordless reversable drill with the EasyChuck™. It only comes in a kit so I guess I'll have to find a use to the hand grinder and reciprocating saw."
Casey: Though you can't organize them that way, you can sort them that or any other way. Just click on the Artist in the title bar and it sorts by Artist. (Click it again and it does reverse alphabetical order.) Then it sorts alpha by album. What *I* want for the next version of iTunes is to have an option to sort by Artist, then album *year*, THEN album title, so you get a nice arc for the artist's career.

Yep. I just HATE how iTunes WON'T let you change the first column from song title to Artist!
I want to arrange the music:
Artist/Album/Track/Title. I just can't get the damn thing to let me move Title over, blast it.
Otherwise I would use it as my regular .mp3 ripper/player for Windows. It looks really nice. But that irks the crap out of me.
But it would be nice to have an iPod. And a dual-processor G5 with the 21" widescreen LCD display.
And I'd like a couple of those neat little Shuttle boxes; one P4, and one AMD. And, and, a pony, and a cowboy hat...
(wakes up) Wazzat? Hmph?

That NEVER happens to me!!!

If you read carefully, it says men don't usually get this way while shopping--unless electronics, power tools, or something like that is involved. ;-)
Hmmmm...toooools.....hmmm.

Dean, of course men don't become irrational when shopping for food and clothes. Women buy it for them!
