NO NO NO you are NOT an addict.
If you had bought cybertechnology after M&M came out, then maybe...
if you had bought it by auction a year after M&M came out and paid triple
price for it, then yes, you would be an addict.

Right now, you're just a "die-hard fan" (not to be confused with a DieHard
fan, though why anyone would like car batteries..., oh forget it)
