I am the first to admit that I am a gadget/electronics/technology fiend.
No, the historic blackout was not very fun for me only because I had major withdrawals concerning my email addiction.
I am someone who checks email all the time. A tad sick, I realize, but I know alot of people. Email is just the easiest way to communicate. Talking on the phone is sometimes not so easy due to noise, time, etc.
My next purchase should help my addiction. The Sidekick is a nifty all in one device that lets you check email, instant message, surf the web, take pictures, and even talk to someone (it's also a phone of all things). It's like a more evolved Blackberry aimed more at just regular consumers.
