    Got that one myself, along with Bab5 Season 2, 10 year Anniversary of Mallrats, etc...and 3 gigabit home switches for my new home network. :-) Various and sundry knives, put-together toys, and so on. All in all, it was a good haul.

    Hope everyone makes it back safely after the upcoming New Year celebrations.

      Along the lines of DVDs I got Family Guy Volume Three, Serenity, Clerks Special Edition, (which rounds out my View Askew collection sans Jersey Girl but that movie sucks) and Four Brothers

      My Tech gift would have to be the Dell 20.1 Inch wide screen monitor, I wanted an Apple Monitor but hey we all have our budgets. Still the Defcon forums have never looked so good as viewed through my new screen.

      Hope everyone else had an enjoyable Christmas.
      Did Everquest teach you that?

          I got the nicest gift a geek could want. A couple of days away from clients and cutting code.

            I got a nice laptop cooler and a PSP which is pretty nice. Nothing really other than that, but now hopefully I can try some PSP mods, I saw one involving the Wi-Fi range, but it involved soldering

                Best Buy gift card is the geekiest gift I got. I see Sprint has a new phone to compete with the RAZR, so I may treat myself.

                  I'm jealous...all I got was socks, underware, a bathrobe, PJ's, slippers, Stetson After Shave, an orbital sander, a Black & Decker Jig saw, and a Silver and Gold engraved belt buckle...guess I gotta buy my own geek stuff.

                  The best present I got though was a Christmas card from my grandson...he's 4 years old and he just learned how to print his name.
                  I enjoy talking to myself...it's usually the only intelligent conversations I get to have.

                    i didn't realize until i saw one... the Razr isn't that astoundingly thin. when you see it in the commercials, you'd think the dimensions of width are about average, which makes the thickness look amazingly tiny. but it's not that way... it's acutally really "wide" in my opinion. (like over 2" wide, i think) it's about halfway in between a regular phone and a PDA-type phone in my opinion. and while the thickness is slim... it's just marginally smaller than most phones i've seen. i'll hold my amazed gasp until someone comes out with a phone that's 1½" wide and well under ½" thick. give me a third or quarter inch width and i'll get excited.

I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want."

                              I didn't get much in tech gifts, just a wireless router and a digital compass for my truck.

                              Icetre and I decided no big gifts this year due to the buying and restoring of a Scared Stiff pinball table. We decided that was our gift to each other.

                                This Christmas mostly sucked on the gift front, but I did get the most entertaining table conversation I've had in a long time out of dinner. That alone was worthwhile.

                                Still, new Jeep suspension, a Colt 1911, and a dual AMD64 machine would've been nice.
