Why can't i ever leave anything alone?
Greetings everyone. was just considering yesterday that nothing i ever buy/create is good enough. everything is in a constant state of tweaking. as an example, i have a wonderful water cooling setup, but then i got paranoid that my temps were still too high, so i made improvements. then more improvements. etc etc. i'm happier now, but the new TDX block comes out, and i'm thinking, gee, that might drop my temps a few more degrees. and this attitude doesn't just apply to computers. as a musician, most of my gear has evloved constantly, trying to find the best combination of tone for me. as an engineer (well, grad student now), you should see me in the machine shop! i get pissed when some thing i make isn't perfect. and don't even get me started about my car... hell, sometimes things i have are working fine, but i just have to tinker with them to make them better (and i've broken a few toys in the process, believe me) in any case, i was just wondering if all "technical" people have this tendency. or am i just crazy?
