Does anyone else suffer from G.A.S - Gear (or Gadget) Acquistion Syndrome or is it just me. 

Im just looking on my desk (and bearing in mind i get to play with Consumer and Enterprise Tech for a living as well as other things), i think i may have too toys

I currently have 

2 x Ipad Pro's (although one used to be my mums before she passed and i cant bring myself to wipe it)

1 x Work Surface Book 2

1 x Personal Surface Book 2

Samsung Galaxy Fold

Samsung Galaxy S10 5G (work)

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+

OnePlus 7 Pro

Planet Computers Gemini

Planet Computers Cosmo

iPhone 7 

iPhone 6 (work)

A box of retro phones including Nokia's and a Motorola MPX

I think i have a problem lol

I think you may need a teensy weensy bit of therapy, @madasaf1sh 

[madasaf1sh]

Me too @Bambino

I blame it on working for a mobile phone shop over 20 years ago... that when it all started...

Ahh the days of just 4 simple mobile networks one2one (my first ever network), orange, BT Cellnet and Vodafone..

My names Andy and i suffer from GAS (doesnt sound right) lol  

[Bambino]

I think that's a very plausible explanation, @madasaf1sh, but you still need therapy.

heehee @Bambino

Im thinking the beer in the fridge will help for tonight 🙂

[Cleoriff]

I would agree with @Bambino on this @madasaf1sh 

Mind you, I think it could be OCD? (It sounds better than GAS whichever way you look at it...)

[madasaf1sh]

@Cleoriff

I could call it G.O.D -- Gadget Obession Disorder, lol sounds a lot better than G.A.S 😛

[Cleoriff]

Yes, that's much better @madasaf1sh 

(Even though people may think you also have delusions of grandeur) 

[Bambino]

Enjoy your beer, @madasaf1sh. A lot cheaper than therapy.

I think I can beat that list:

1 PC

2 monitors and 1 small screen

1 work laptop (connected to the above screens all used daily)

6 iPhones

2 Android phones

a couple of external hard drives and one external storage unit

2 active routers (4G and one powerline connected through the house)

1 mini amplifier

1 Nix color detector 

1 multimeter

1 usb microscope

1 usb powerpoint dongle

Numerous screwdrivers & Numerous pens, pencils in mugs

Soldering iron

2 Cameras

1 drum trigger

1 tablet

1 Raspberry Pi (model 3B I think) and a Pi Zero

2x Patchblocks synthesisers 

2 staplers one of which is staple-less which as about awesome as it gets in paper attaching.

A couple more mini-amps powered by USB powerbanks

A scientific calculator

A video camera

And as I'm testing a few thing out for another project, a load of CAT5 keystones and Audio Baluns. Just got a couple of video capture cards to play about with this morning as well. 

Oh and a labelling machine and a magnifying glass. Yet there is still space on my desk 

Around my office, I have even more gadgets and bits - I also have a small cupboard and shelf unit with even more things that I've forgotten I've bought (mainly electronic components and oddly Raspberry Pi's) for projects I'm slowly finishing. 

Saying that, I also have a severe case of CCD: Cable Collecting Disorder. There's two 42 litre storage boxes of them!
