ya know what's scary.... i'm SERIOUSLY considering buying a new one and storing it in my closet just to have a backup

I know what you mean. I've only got mine since last thursday and I'm already head over heals in love with it. I hope it will last forever, but I shouldn't be that naive.
Damn. If I hadn't bought one just last week I would consider it.
