A Collector Is
Born
When my
husband was researching his first watch I thought it was great that he was
going to get a new timepiece. He finally found one that he really liked and
it looked great on him. I started to notice him viewing watch shows on the
shopping networks (they have those?). I was like OK, no big deal, he is just
looking and how good could these watches be? I had no clue. I have one watch
and why would I ever need another one. Next thing I knew he purchased
another one and it was from some shopping network. I thought OK so now he
has two watches.
Seeing how excited my husband was, I really did not mind. Hey, why should I
mind if it is something that makes him happy? As the months went by, I found
myself starting to watch some of these watch shows with him. Actually I
found myself saying “That is a nice watch, do you want it? Hey go ahead and
order it.” At that time, he had passed any offer I made.
As time went on I found myself waking up at odd hours of the early mornings
only to see my husband wide awake watching more watch shows. I wondered what
the obsession for watches was? I was too tired to think about it, so what did
I do? I rolled over, put the pillow over my head, and went back to sleep. One
day I woke up and something hit me, my husband is totally addicted to
collecting watches.
It was only after a few watches were purchased that I started to gain
interest in them too. Now I am following in his steps by staying up and
watching the shopping networks, browsing the stores in the mall and
researching brands. Once I thought that one watch was enough and now I
continue to look for more. I can now understand this addiction.
A collector was born. No wait: TWO were born!

With a name like the
Flying C1000,
you'd think the latest technical marvel from those masters of budget
innovation in China might be a knock-off Harley or perhaps a stab at a
hovercar, but the pleasant surprise is that it's actually a GSM
wristwatch phone.
The tiny marvel, to be handled
in China by storied distributor
iMobile, is
currently unpriced and is yet to go on sale there, but is sure to be a
hit when it does. It's not clear what OS the C1000 uses - we'd put money
on it being some kind of Linux - to power its PDA functions, media
players, Bluetooth, camera and touch-sensitive color display.
