“My Blackberry. It’s my cellphone, but also allows me to pick up my emails on the road.”
Favourite Music Device
“My iPod. I’ve got the new 160 gigabyte one and it’s already full.”
Favourite Gadget
“TiVo – a digital video recorder. I have three and they record all my favourite TV programmes. It means my wife isn’t constantly swapping tapes in our VCRs, and my dad doesn’t have to record The Simpsons.”
Favourite Toy
“My Archos portable digital video recorder. It’s like an iPod, but for movies and TV shows. I have three of those.”
Favourite Person
“My wife Marlene. Anything that’s outside of Dream Theater in my life, she holds down for me.”
