My laptop is a MacBook. Not a MacBook Pro, just a MacBook. I bought it probably close to four years ago. Considering I do most of my work on my laptop, and how quickly computers evolve, that’s a long time.

Similarly, our car is a 1986 Volvo sedan, which we paid all cash for. It’s solid and it’s kept us safe for years.

I did give in and get an iPhone, when others on my team made persuasive arguments for how it could help integrate what we’re all doing. I don’t regret it, it’s been a handy tool. It’s a 3GS and is probably more than two years old. It works fine.

I’ll admit it, for years I looked at my friends’ smartphones and, more lately, iPads, and other fun toys with some interest.

But I resist. Why do I resist?
