    It wasn't a choice.. it was a gift unfortunately. I sacrificed my good parts in the zen to keep my gfs going.

    My Wacom Intuos2 A4, which makes digital drawing and colouring way simpler than mousing it!
    And the fantastic Art of Kung-Fu Panda artbook; I thankfully managed to snag one before they became scarce.

    Re: Items that you are REALLY pleased that you own

    Have to be my car. Getting a bit long in the tooth now, just done over 100K, but if I didn't have it, I'd be lost frankly and unable to easily escape.

    My collection of iPods, the Touch for journeys when I have to take public transport or fly, and the nano for gym.

    Re: Items that you are REALLY pleased that you own

    Difficult to really nail it down but in no particular order:

    1) My home cinema subwoofer. Never fails to raise a smile when it rumbles.
    2) Polarised sunglasses. Only recently bought some, what a difference for driving!
    3) My MTB. It's my commuting bike primarily, but with a quick tyre change can be used for trails as well.

    Re: Items that you are REALLY pleased that you own

    Whats intresting here is the all things to all people.

    We've got people who like iPods, so much so they have a collection, we've got people who complain they don't support half the formats, have the capacity or batterylife etc.

    We've even got someone who likes the blackberry storm!

    I'm really getting on with my Walkman X. For a package that has rather effective active NR headphones, its very small, with good batterylife. The screen is wounderful, thou too small for prolonged viewings, for that my q1 ultra will be busted out!

    Re: Items that you are REALLY pleased that you own

    My MTB hands down. I have got so much enjoyment out of it in the past few years - although i have changed so much of the componentry it can hardley be classed as the same bike. The frame is probably the only original part.

    Re: Items that you are REALLY pleased that you own

    My Panasonic DEH-4100SD head unit in my car. I'm not an audio buff or a car enthusiast, but having a CD player that I can stick SDHC cards into is a bonus. The interface is a bit fiddly, but once you get used to it it's fine (and no more complaints from the Mrs about the big wallet of CDs I kept under the passenger seat that kept banging her on the back of the feet if I stopped suddenly )

    Sky+ box. I don't watch a large amount of telly, but it's nice to be able to get the programmes I do want to watch recorded, which means when I am in the mood to slump down and slob in front of the TV, I'm not watching banal crap like "How sexy is your house" or "Living with a podiatrist"

    Tom Tom Navigator on the PDA: Had it since V3 and genuinely don't know how I lived without it! I know some traditionalists whine about them and say "what's wrong with a map / written directions" but nothing beats getting a nice vocal instruction which means you don't have to pull over to safely try to work out where the hell you are (although the default "Jane" voice on TomTom started to grate on me after a while, so now I've got local radio DJ / comedian Justin Moorhouse's voice telling me where to go. A northern Sat Nav - there's a novelty )
