Swad Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 We've heard from a lot of you that Mac-related gifts were at the top of your wish list this Christmas. Did you get everything you want? Here's your chance to gloat about all your gifts. Don't gloat too much, though - the fat man just started his list for next year, and you know he'll be checking it twice. (I got a Craftsman tool set, but that's what I asked for. Talk about old school tech...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takuro Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I got an Apple Radio Remote for my iPod so I could listen to FM radio when I'm on-the-go incase my MP3 playlist gets a little boring. I also got an iHome iH5B Radio, but I'll have to return it due to a faulty IR receiver for its remote. I received some I.O.U. money for a future purchase of the Apple cellphone as soon as it becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreno Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 All this playing around with OSX86 got me to finally bite the bullet and get myself a nice Mac Pro 2.66ghz , as well as the Radeon x1900 video card for it, an additional 2gb or RAM, and a 250gb SATA HDD that was on sale at CompUSA for $59.99 after $30.00 instant and savings and $50.00 Man. Rebate. I took advantage of my Military discount (8%0 on most items in Apple store - including systems and 12% off of Apple Care) as well as my proximity to New Hampshire and saved myself quite a bit of cash. I really like my new Mac Pro. It kicks some serious butt and runs Windows XP a lot better than my old P4 3.4ghz Sager 9860 ever did. Now, as for my credit card bill which I'll be getting soon I'll just have to find me a higher paying contracting job Know anyone looking for a good SAP SD/SC consultant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takuro Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) I got a rock... That reminds me of something wierd that I got. It's not Apple-related, but I got about 10 lbs of beef jerky. There were a lot of boxes under the tree, but they were all basically filled with Jack Link's Jalapeno Jerky, teriachi jerky, peppered jerky, normal jerky, etc. I like it though. I should last me a year. The stuff doesn't go bad, and it'd delicious. For the past few weeks, my friends and family told me not to buy any jerky, and now I know why.

kevin_4e Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Lol, great gift Takuro. Makes me want some jerky. I actually got no Mac related stuff this year, although I do intend to buy an iPod (or something) with the money I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erbic Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Had less under the tree than usual yesterday because I got my MacBook Pro about a month ago. Woot woot. Gears of War was the big thing. Got $75 in Best Buy gift cards, $25 from grandparents, $100 from really close family friend (), and a $15 iTunes gift card. Also bought Splinter Cell: DA today with the Best Buy cards. So overall not the most exciting Christmas in recent memory, but it was great anyway. Spent the last two days playing Gears of War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I guess Christmas with presents is more of an American culture thingy . I want an iPod too... Well, you Dutch people exchange presents for Sinterklaas, on the 5th of December (not expensive ones, though. Or was it because I was living with students?) That is why you hardly celebrate Christmas I wouldn't say that Christmas with presents is an American tradition. Here in Italy it has "always" existed.

rollcage Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 All my bigger gifts were apple related. I got 2gb of ram for my one mini, a new photo=printer, a new case for my ipod (along with some other accessories), and Aperture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
