Problem...solved

The rather insane increase in magnitude of the Indian Ocean catastrophe has eliminated any dilemmas I may have had about finding end-of-year deductions. It's absurd trying to find a way to justify upgrading from an 18" LCD to a 23" LCD when it turns out that ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE were basically washed off the face of the earth.

In looking back over the year, the earthquake/tsunami disaster and Pixel dying will be the two things of significant enough impact that I'll remember about 2004. I suspect that in, say, 2010, everything else will have dropped away and that the only remaining impression of 2004 will be that it was a truly crappy year.
