I have this curse, an electronic purchasing curse. I went back to the Future Shop to return the memory card I bought, that turned out just fine and dandy after 10 minute wait in the wrong line, and then a 25 minute wait in the correct one. And what do ya know, it was cheaper! (I came this close to buying a new phone, but thankfully talked myself out of it. As well as those beautiful, beautiful shoes at the shop next door. Mmm… shoes.) What on earth was I talking about in the first place? The shoes took my attention away and I haven't had any coffee yet.Curse, yes. I need a microphone for my desktop computer, my laptop has one internally, however I like to use ole desktop at home when chatting with friends. I specified a USB microphone to the gentleman at F.S., alas, they did not have one. I tried the store down the street and I found a plethora of mikes, so I picked one up and went on my merry way.
Later, I arrive home and rip open the package, start up iChat and anticipate the awesome convenience of chatting in real time, with yer voice and not yer hands. This is about when I realize what a retard I am. I failed to purchase a microphone that has a USB connection. I bought one that plugs right into a specific microphone jack; Apple doesn't supply their G4's, or other towers I believe, with a mike jack, and I knew this.

Will I ever get it right? Can't I have only one, or how about zero electronics shopping experiences a week without having to return it the next day? *sigh*
