Im OK, Youre OK: Its cool to be an early iPad adopter

The early adopter tax, along with any associated tech risks, has not escaped the notice of most tech enthusiasts. In the end, its not much of a factor. We dont buy early because its a good deal. We dont buy early because its fiscally sound. We buy early because the technology is cool and we simply cannot or do not want to wait for our preciousssssss to finally come home with us. We are the People Who Stand In Line. In my case, this is an hereditary condition. I blame my father, who would bring home the latest gadgets to an adoring family. Wed gather around the latest technology, glowing in its radiance, having an utter blast using toys that no one had ever heard of, let alone bought. We were the first family on the block and possibly in the state to have a microwave, a fax machine the size, may I point out, of a small car, a personal computer, or a hand-held programmable calculator. It wasnt just cool. It was awesome.
