I was just wondering what you guys want for Christmas? From an iPod for music to an Airport card for your laptop? My friend would like a 5 GB iPod because you could use it as a Hard Drive. I myself wopuld like a ibook... What would you like?

I'd like a Griffin Powermate, a Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold Joystick, a LaCie D2 external hard drive, and a GeForce 3 ADC AGP card (to replace my aging Rage 128 in my Cube...).

A nice Powerlogix Dual-Gig processor upgrade wouldn't go amiss, either...

I want a nice digital camera, surround sound speakers for our TV, and a Game Cube.

I wouldn't mind an iBook though.. but it would be pointless...

Hmm... which one should I ask my parents to buy? They say I can only have one (not the iBook, though)...

I asked for an mp3 player and didn't think I would be able to get an iPod so I had been looking at flash based mp3 players for a while. Then I went home for thanksgiving break and my parents told me they ordered a 5gig iPod! THEN I saw Dell had 10% off so my mom cancelled the 5gig order and got the 10gig with all the extras for only $60 more! I can't wait to go home for winter break and play with it!!!

I want to upgrade my 1GHz superdrive TiBook to 1GB of ram, a 20GB ipod, suround sound speakers would be great, the collectors edition of the LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring, and The Matrix sequels to get here sooner! :D

Hmmmm........ I wouldn't mind a Apple 23" HD display........

But no real hardware that I want except my new 1GHz PowerBook, that I just received shipment notification on today...... YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I have however bought my brother an iSub for his new eMac for Christmas, anything to help the Apple conversion cause!! heh heh!!

I haven't really decided what I'd like for Christmas yet........ I quite fancy a Tamiya TXT-1 as I'm a firm believer in Christmas being for toys and gadgets not sensible boring stuff!! Although I also have my eye on a new DV Camcorder too!! But I might wait for the English phenomenon that is the January sales, cos' they'll be much cheaper then!! Heh heh!! :D

Re: What Mac stuff do you want for X-mas?
Gosh, Mac n' Steve, I didn't know you were shopping for me! So nice of you to ask what I want.

However, what I want is very hard to get for me. I have the equipment and software. What I want is time to experiment, read documentation, and learn to use it all. I want to develop software, edit home videos, experiment with new technologies, try shareware, manage my music collection, and become a master of Mac OS X at Unix level. All I need is time to do it all!
