I got a brand new 2.2 SR MBP 15''. However i have already called AppleCare and requested a replacement. It looks like they are still shipping bad Samsung Displays.

I like it, at least for use on the sofa.

Now if I could only find a Bluetooth trackball. Can't move a mouse very well on the sofa.

Mousekeys did not seem to work very well with the new keyboard on my first try. I'll try again later. If I could dispense with the mouse entirely (at least for sofa-type operations) it would be just fine.

myself an iPhone in September! I couldn't wait.

My wife's dad bought her one for her birthday in September, so I figured: how can I teach her how to use it unless I had one myself? Aren't I a great husband?

Besides, that is when the $200 price drop happened. Some called that a "fiasco," but I took it as a sign from God that He wanted me to have an iPhone. :)

I agree there should be an accessories option. All from Santa: $100 iTunes voucher, spare MBP battery, airline adapter (but im not travelling business class so cant use it!), 4Gb ram. I'm one happy vegemite! :D

I only got a lump of coal from Santa this year.... oh well... a few days before Christmas I bought myself my Christmas Present for this year: a new Burberry suit. Looking good at work and on the weekends was more important than new tech toys this time since I already have all of the tech toys I want (iPhone, PowerMac G5)

I had a 30" ACD under the tree this year. Although I was ecstatic, I politely brought it back to the Apple store, and will wait to see if Santa Steve updates the beast.

I bought myself a iPod 3rd gen Nano in November for myself then gave it to my hubby to wrap up for xmas and take on as himself. I hoped for a Mighty Mouse also but didn't get anything other than what I had bought for myself. Ah well nevermind. I got a whole 362 days of hint dropping lol

Not really an actual Christmas gift I guess, but the wife and I went in together and bought a new 24" iMac a couple weeks ago. I guess you could count that as our Christmas present to ourselves. ;) :cool:

Apple High Density floppy disk (signed by Woz)
Apple ADB II Mouse (signed by Woz)
iWoz (signed by Woz)
Pre-release version of iCon

My wife, iPod Destroyer (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=400302&highlight=ipod+destroyer), bought me an 80g Classic. It's a sweet piece of technology. My brother bought her a blue Shuffle.

I also love the fact that the Classic matches my Powerbook!

p.s. we're getting her 5G iPod repaired/replaced for around $150.

Boyfriend did not buy her the Nano. She bought the Nano to give to him but since they broke up, she decided to keep it for herself.

Didn't get any Apple hardware, but my wife's sister did get us a set of matching softwear. She and her boyfriend stood in line for hours at the Leopard launch to get us a pair of those t-shirts (http://blog.epromos.com/archives/2007/10/leopard_launch.html) Apple gave away. They aren't even Mac fans (they're tech savvy and Mac friendly, but not fans). Pretty cool gift, considering the planning involved and the fact that I'd never wait in line like that myself! :eek: ;)

Also kind of funny since we still don't have Leopard yet. It was on my wishlist but nobody got it for me. :rolleyes:

an Apple iPod Touch to my Brother; a pair of iPod Nanos to my sister-in-law and nephew. I received Leopard a few months ago, as an "early" Xmas present. Had to use those gift cards somehow! :cool:

I got an airport express -- #3 in the house. Now we can stream music wirelessly in the kitchen, living room, and TV room.

It was a nice gift because I wasn't going to buy one for the TV room. We've already got a PowerBook in there and it would have been easy enough to connect that computer directly to the audio system. But then that would have been one more cable to plug in any time you charged the computer, so the airport express saves, what 10 seconds of effort? That's not something I'd buy for myself, but as a gift it was great. It really is much more convenient!
