Esha: Exactly what I noticed as well. I have to admit, it's a brilliant way to keep ppl purchasing their latest stuff. Take the ipod for example. I bought mine 6 years ago and it was still practically new when the new generation came out (size became smaller). The shape was so distinctly different that you could tell if someone had the "old" generation or the newer one. Ramadan kareem to you all as well!

Sometimes companies just change the name of a product slightly or make other minor changes to make it seem like the new cool thing. I really like the idea of making lists-- I've realized writing things down always helps to determine if something is actually a priority. Hana– you’re so right about the “better” versions.

Jazak Allahu khairan for the tips and I loved this part, "There’s always a newer version, a ‘better’ version we convince ourselves. The latest version is now able to do something it hadn’t been able to do before, or its competitors weren’t able to provide, and suddenly we realize our lives cannot be the same without it. The desire suddenly becomes a need." Ramadan Kareem my dear sister, alia I love it Hana!
