do you by new technology gear as soon as it comes out?

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Good survey question Wayno.
I'm easily drawn to new technology, and find myself justifying why I need it, or better still, why I can't live without it!
I'll then ponder it for a while, socialise it with friends, hate it, then love it, then start again.
By this stage...the next bit of technology has been released, and I don't bother! hahaha.
Nah...in all seriousness...I'll look at purchasing new technology generally if:
1. I have a foreseeable need for the increased 'value' it has for my needs and
2. If the new technology is accompanied by efficacy and reliability

i'm finding myself going for the next to newest technology that has proven itself and is by then on discount,.. the new stuff has such a premium price on it and i've been disappointed by hype in the past.. and looking at the survey results so far, most people think along similar lines....
