<p>It&#39;s hard to decide when it is finally time to let go. When do you recycle that old tech and replace it? It may still work, but is it the thing holding you back, or do you just want something new and don&#39;t really need it? This week Shannon and John grappled with this exact question and talked each other into and out of some potential technology purchases</p>
