Here&#8217;s the problem, though: I don&#8217;t need it! I use an audio tape adapter in my car instead, and I can always charge\/sync from my laptop&#8230; so we went to CompUSA to return it.<br \/>\nWhile I was in CompUSA looking for a replacement present worth around the same amount, though&#8230; it hit me.<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t need ANYTHING in the entire store! I looked at mice, keyboards, PDA accessories, laptop accessories, games, printers, CDs\/DVDs, hard drives, cell phone accessories, etc. etc&#8230; I either already had it, didn&#8217;t need it, or didn&#8217;t want it. I tried my hardest to look for stuff I might like but definitely don&#8217;t need&#8230; just really unnecessary but cool stuff I could use&#8230; and I was completely unsuccessful.<br \/>\nThen I went home and jumped onto ThinkGeek&#8230; a few low-priced items caught my eye, like this key-shaped multi-tool and some neat lights&#8230; I dunno. I might get one or two of those, but I&#8217;m just not very enthusiastic about anything.<br \/>\nSo my request, for you geeks out there: <b>recommend to me some cool geeky electronics priced around $70<\/b>. I&#8217;ll probably just end up keeping the money and using it for games or, uh, food and rent. But if anyone can recommend something extra cool I&#8217;ll go for it!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi fellow geeks, I have a dilemma.
