Buy my stuff. Buy my stuff. Buy my stuff. Is it working yet?
This isn't an ordinary disembodied voice. Only *you* hear it
in your head, so it should be extra-effective.
The usual technoid misanthropy aside, "buy what everyone else
is buying" isn't a bad strategy if it's something that's
not central to your life. Do you spend as much time researching,
optimizing and comparing your decisions for buying food as you
do with buying computers?
