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...)

well my dad isnt the kind that likes to go shopping and he just gives me and my brothers $250 to go buy stuff. i got a Macbook Pro C2D for school so i cant complain there but otherwise i got some clothes and cologne from the rest of my family. i have had the same ipod for about 3 years and it still keeps on going which is awesome.

I unwrapped one of my gifts to get an official apple ipod leather carry case. ow! expensive and pointless i thought! Fantastic! Opened the box!

 

Empty apart from a warranty notice.

Hopefully they will sort it out.

Lots of the usual stuff. For tech, wife and I got a Sony DSC-T50 digital camera. I did buy a 22" Viewsonic monitor for the hackintosh, but thats going back to Staples because two of the built in speakers don't work.

 

Dell Canada had a boxing day sale, so I bought two 22" Widescreen Dells @ $299CAD a pop/free shipping.

 

The big items my kids got was some Playmobil sets. The RC train and the Princess castle.

Will buy my macbook pro next month my parents would be crazy to spend 2000 euro on me :P

My wife was very nice to me this year (not sure why) but she got me a new iPod Video 30GB Black to replace my dying 10GB iPod (3rd Gen I think), a Novation Remote Zero SL and a new pro sound card.

 

Best thing is I got my hackintosh working! Bad thing is I had to return the sound card since it was PCI. But the good thing is I got a Focusrite Saffire LE to replace it ;)

 

Overall a very good Christmas.

Santa was great to me. =)

 

I got an Intel iMac g5:

2.0 Ghz Core 2 Duo

2 GB of Ram

150 GB HDD

 

andd:

 

iPod G5.5

30 GB Black.

 

So my hackintosh is rotting in the basement. And my old iPod 4G (Grayscale) has been claimed by my dad.

 

My brothers got an iPod 30 GB white, and an iPod shuffle. Seems that our family is steadily becoming Mac Based. =)

i had a great christmas this year. i got a gig of ram for my mbp (to make my mbp have 2gb ram, dual channel owns), a new gaming headset which has amazing headphones that make my music sound amazing, and a 500gb external firewire disk! i have no idea what ill fill it up with, lol theres so much space. my brother and i also got a wii, so my brother, my dad, and i all played wii sports bowling a lot. it was fun, and zelda owns. :hysterical: also, on pspupdates.qj.net, i saw an article of a custom firmware for the psp(3.02 OE-:P that lets you have all the homebrew (snes, nes, gbc, genesis emulators among new games, its what i use the psp for), the updated browser and capabilities of the newest firmwares, and the ability to make any ps1 game run full speed on the psp. so basically another great (free) gift i received was the ability to play all of the old playstation games again anywhere i am. for anyone with a psp, check out that site and hope to god your psp's motherboard isnt a TA-082 :hysterical:

it was a great christmas!

Wow, you guys get a lot of stuff for Christmas.

I wish we had that in Holland!

 

quoted for truth, in greece we dont get that many stuff either. btw, "santa" comes at january 1st here so he may not look like jobs, but i sure hope for a wii-looking old man :)

Well, I didn't do the Xmas thing this year, unless you count me getting a Wii the week after release. Also got Zelda at the same time. Those are sweet... I'm hoping to get a new MacBook Pro by the end of January (bonus time!). I'm hoping that at MWSF Jobs will announce an upgrade to the MBP line. Also kind of hoping we'll finally hear about the full screen video iPod. Been holding off on getting an iPod til I hear about those.
