Did Santa look like Steve Jobs this year?


Swad

We've heard from a lot of you that Mac-related gifts were at the top of your wish list this Christmas. :santa:

 

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...)

I got an iPod, an external HD, and iTunes money. And other uninportant stuff. We also upgraded our internet so now we get 1.6 Megabyte/sec downloads.

I got an Playstation Portable, an Apple Mighty Mouse and an Apple Keyboard Pro, a new Sony DVD-RW, and some other unimportant things! I was very suprised when I got an iSight!

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. :(

Don't you have wooden shoes in Holland? smile.gif

 

Well, yeah. Kinda.

Only farmers in my province really wear them.

 

But I didn't even get those for Christmas >_>.

I guess Christmas with presents is more of an American culture thingy ^_^.

 

I want an iPod too...

All this playing around with OSX86 got me to finally bite the bullet and get myself a nice Mac Pro 2.66ghz :dev: , 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 :D

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. :P

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.

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 (:thanks_speechbubble:), 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. :)

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.

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.

I got money from my mother and from my aunt. My father hasn't given me any gifts since I was a child, but that is just the way he is, he is not a bad person.

From my sister I got an aftershave and some other little presents.

 

I never see the rest of my family (uncles, aunts and cousins)

 

I didn't buy myself anything, but I have been very generous with myself during 2006 (and in 2007 I might buy a real Mac)
