Frog designed AT&T’s digital answering machine in 1990, the model 1337.

I remember that answering machine quite well. It was one of the first digital answering machines, and very well made. Beautiful, compared with other answering machines of the day.

I bought one for myself, and my girlfriend broke up with me because I hadn't bought anything for her in a very long time. I wasn't a very good person back then.

Looks like the grandfather of the Wii.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet with the gf.

Nah. It all boils down to attention. If you have not treated your girlfriend in a while and buy stupidly expensive answering machine, that shows where the priorities are.

It's a complex area, I make much more than my partner so I try to keep things balanced, treat her to Metallica tickets, a nice hotel and a few days in a big city neither of us has been too.

Picked up my Oculus Rift S on the way back.

I don't do it to keep score or anything, I like treating her as her been happy makes me happy.

Of course one shouldn’t keep score or anything, that’s unhealthy on the long run and one should treat themselves once in a while. But showing affection even if it is by sometimes buying something is appreciated. And i speak this from an experience similar to the grandfather.
