Dear self,
You do not have the skills to even sort of build your own computer, and I don't care if it'd be cheaper.
Also, stop trying to grope the iPod. First of all, it's only a picture of one, and secondly, we do not grope electronics here, young lady.
And no, you may not buy a graphics tablet until you've at the very least worked your way through Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
Exasparated,
Your better half
