Same here; I got my first programming job @ 15, but I've never had the latest-and-greatest because I don't want to pay out the nose for it. I learned that lesson in the late 80's when I bought a car phone from Radio Shack - one of the cool ones with the battery pack that you could actually remove from the car! It was ~$800; I bought it, installed it, and then went back to get the service set up. They wanted another $1200 to set up service, so I told them to go to hell and gave them back the phone.
