Dear Santa

[nesbitt_a]

Was wondering what is on peoples Christmas wish lists, and what kind of setups people are hoping to have come the new year.

I'm looking forward to running a 10.4 on a dual (+core) G4 15.2" powerbook.





Sorry if this is a *bit* early, only 10 weeks to go!
Andy.

I'm looking forward to running a 10.4 on a dual G4 15.2" powerbook.
Dual? or dual core? :D

I'm happy as larry with the new 20" iMac, looking forward to getting Tiger on it sometime next year. There really isn't anything I want for christmas.






...oh, er, accept an Aston Martin DB9 :D

[NCTRNL]

I'm hoping to get up to 2GB Ram with this:

Not for your laptop though right?

[Chaszmyr]

I'm looking forward to a dual-core PowerMac.. but even if it comes in the next update, it won't be until after Christmas

[NCTRNL]

Not for your laptop though right?

Sorry...wrong link...that was for something else...two of these:

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-220-111&depa=1Ah, that's better. I was just picturing you trying to squeeze desktop DDR DIMMS in your PB :eek:

[NCTRNL]

Actually, probably this brand, and it has reviews from PB users so that'll probably be my best bet...2 for the price of one from Crucial...

[Whigga Spitta]

i want an LCD to match my Powerbook for my dormroom. imagine photoshopping on my external monitor, adium-ing and browsing macrumors on my PB, and watching movies from my external harddrive on a TV across the room. uh-oh, im running out of computing power. add a dual-2.5 to my wishlist too... :D

[Jovian9]

I wouldn't mind finding a Nintendo DS in my stocking....
a Canon XL-2 under the tree......
a winning lottery ticket.......
or a phone call from SBC or the cable company saying they can finally provide my house with high-speed internet (that would be the best of all gifts).....SBC being the company that promised me they could before we moved in but backed out 2 weeks later :( I'm still bitter!

[Lloyd1994]

My Powerbook is in dire need of more ram...512 would do. It could also use a BTMouseJR and a Crumpler School Hymn. GTA SA would be a great way to lower productivity. I'm pretty cheap to shop for this year :D

[cluthz]

Would be nice with an new iPod, mine is worn-out.
A 1GB stick for my Powerbook could also be nice.

Hopeully we'll have a new 12-incher with a better GPU, come on apple !!
If apple releases a dual core 12" PB with a better GPU, then i'll sell mine and get the new model.

[coconn06]

With any luck I won't have to ask for a 20" iMac for Christmas as I'll be buying on around Thanksgiving (though here's to hoping that it arrives before Christmas!)

Also, I'd love a new Pentax Optio s5i (http://www.pentaximaging.com/products/product_details?reqID=1010&subsection=optio).

[Counterfit]

*cough* (http://homepage.mac.com/counterfit/list.html) :D

Just a few things... ;)

[wdlove]

I applaud you for posting your wish list online. Seems to be a very attainable goal.

My Dear Santa is for a Power Mac G5. Then early next year to Tiger.

[puckhead193]

I would love to see a nikon d70, and a canon GL2 and a trip to hawaii so i can use my camers :p

[puckhead193]

I would love to see a nikon d70, and a canon GL2 and a trip to hawaii so i can use my camers :p

[AoWolf]

Well this is what I want

1. World domination

2. Access to Apple r&d

3. Powerbook G7

And what I am likely to get

1. WoW

2. Halo 2

[zelmo]

*cough* (http://homepage.mac.com/counterfit/list.html) :D

Just a few things... ;)

Man, I just hate people who tell you want they want without being specific.... ;)

Oh, and Megadeth kicks @$$. Love that Dave Mustaine guy - he cracks me up.

[virividox]

60 mm nikon lense :) i can dream cant i

[joepunk]

As a noobie I would like to get:
a keyboard for my PB
an airport base station
a boat load of games
the student education versions of Adobe CS and Macromedia Suites (finally, my rebates will be comming)
an external monitor
a Pismo (just for the heck of it :rolleyes: )
a set of speakers
for my parents, I would like to get them a imac w/firewire and airport.

And strengh and luck to get me through my 4 classes my first quarter at Western.

[Whigga Spitta]

Before I left for school this fall, I made sure my parents had access to a Mac. Now the iBook is like part of the family! An iMac would look great on the mantle though...

[cr2sh]

I don't know what I want.. jeez...

What do I spend my time on:

Work.... hmm, nothing there (unless someone decides they want to give me three or four Trimble R7's (http://www.trimble.com/trimbler7.shtml))

Video... hmm, blank dvdrs make a good gift, FinalCutExpress

Music... damn, I saw Death Cab for Cutie last night (great show!) but I have all their cds, I can't think of many other cds I long for.

Web Design... ugh, just bought a CSS book...

Mac, iPod... iGuess... might be hard to find this christmas!

I dread the holidays... asking for gifts, having to give and always getting crappy presents from people who don't know you very well (my parents), what a bitch of a time. I have to go home and see them... christ, mail me cash and I'll stick it in a mutual fund, pay off my car, blow it on rice crispy treats.... the holiday mood just hasn't struck me yet. Bring on the snow.

[zelmo]

Sadly, I had to waive all rights to birthday, anniversary, and XMas gifts this year in exchange for getting my 15" PowerBook this summer.

Of course, my wife is such a pushover that I'm sure I'll find a way to get:

GTA: SA for PS2
MGS: Snake Eater for PS2
Nintendo DS w/obligitory Mario game
new speakers for my Tundra


;)

[stevehaslip]

i (along with the small percentage of the world who don't already own one) would quite like an iPod or an iPod mini, i'm not really picky. But i won't hold my breath!

[Blue Velvet]

Apple Cinema Display

20 or 23"



Hey, I'm not fussy

:)

[neilrobinson]

a Canon XL-2 under the tree......

mmm yes please, use a to own one.... nice camera, 1/3 size of betacam but with most of the quality!

[KevRC4130]

The only computer things I really want are:

The $150 gig of Powerbook RAM on Fry's
MacMice The Mouse BT (white)
Logitech Z-2200 speakers (which my sister already got me so that doesnt really count)

[Solafaa]

I wish there would be a a little program that will make me run PC game and software as if on a PC and as fast as on a PC and not the slooooooooooooooooooooow VPC

[musicpyrite]

What do I want for Christmas? 12" PB loaded + 2.5 G5 loaded :rolleyes:

But I'll probably just be getting $200-300. No one knows what to get me for Christmas, so they just give me money. I'll probably use that money to build another PC as a music server, or FTP/SSH/HTTP/etc. server.

[Capt Underpants]

(1) Money for building a computer, for CS: Source.
(2) PStwo (the smaller PS2), with a game or two
(3) Halo 2
(4) Call of duty: finest hour

[AliensAreFuzzy]

Apple Cinema Display

20 or 23"



Hey, I'm not fussy

:)
Heck with those, go for dual 30's :D

[homerjward]

for xmas i want: (realistic list)
snow! i missed the last snow by 5 years by being born in '90 and it wasnt even on xmas or
any mac that runs any version of osx without xpostfacto or
a trip to france/spain over spring break (with my school, it costs 2k dollars, may or may not get to go) or
a blackberry phone or
AN APPLE STORE IN SAN ANTONIO!
(fantasy list):
1 (one) genie who will grant me 3 (three) wishes. you know the rest.
edit: tonight i had the opportunity to play on my friend's selmer series II bari sax! that thing's amazing; i use my school's ybs52 and thought it was fine and now it's not gonna feel right going back! now i want one! 6k bucks (for silver-plated or matte lacquer) though and for that price i could get a 2.5g5 plus a 30"acd...

[wwooden]

There is only one thing my friends and I have been waiting for for over a year now..........Halo 2!!!

And the best part is that one of my friends works at BlockBuster and they get the games a week before the are out, so he can get it the Thursday before 11/9. Granted it's only about 4 or 5 days before everyone else, but it will be worth it.

[macfreek57]

i really wish apple would update the iBooks so i can get one of them. i know that just about every other computer they sell needs it first, but i just can't buy a computer that was updated in janurary (i think).
all they need is price drops, Mhz boosts an VRAM boosts

[Phat_Pat]

There is only one thing my friends and I have been waiting for for over a year now..........Halo 2!!!

same thing here man!!

but thats like a whole month before christmas.... ill need to formulate a new plan by then..... :rolleyes:




ohh and a dual 2.5 ghz with 2+ gigs of ram and dual 30" and and and and... well you get the idea ;)

[vollspacken]

let's see, I have:

- tiBook 1Ghz, 512MB, 60GB, Superdrive
- 3rd gen. iPod 20GB
- Airport Extreme Base
- Airport Express
- M-Audio Firewire Audiophile
- Gemini UMX-9 Mixer

I don't plan any major purchases in addition to my current setup, but I'd like to update my tiBook to 1Gig Ram and an Hitachi 7200RPM HD

I'd also like to have a Canon ZR DVcamcorder, but I'm not sure how often I would actually use it, so I will probably go for the ram and the HD plus professional installation (I'm too lazy to do it myself...)

vSpacken

[Blue Velvet]

Heck with those, go for dual 30's :D

But, but...
that would necessitate a new Mac AND a new apartment to fit them in...

Still, beggars can't be choosers.

[Diatribe]

Not too much, just an iCurve, Apple BT keyboard, USB Hub and a Powermate.
Ooops, that already makes 200€... oh well.

[slooksterPSV]

For Christmas I want at least one of these things (not all of them):
A new iBook
A new eMac
A new iMac
An Apple Store in Orem
A used, but good PMG3 or PMG4
Halo 2
A Gamecube w/Final fantasy Crystal Chronicles w/GBA w/link cables

I'll add later.

[Mord]

1000 xserves and any type of powerbook.

[wPod]

for xmas i want a dual anything G5 powermac and a 23" (or 20") apple display. i would also like a TV viewing device for it :-)

unless santa wins the lottery (or finds some other means of purchasing power) ill probably want (er get) 512MB of ram for my PB and a nice set of computer speakers.

[Jovian9]

For dell to stop running their commercials that always end with:
"hurry cause this offer ends on ............"
but then the same commercial is recycled with that end date changed to a date that reflects when they are recycling the commercial.

[Devie]

20" iMac G5
Nintendo DS+2 Games (doesnt come out in Australia till about Feb next year :(, I can still import though)
Halo 2
Xbox Live
Metroid Prime 2
Pikmin 2
Paper Mario 2

That's what I really want, but what I am getting will not be all that at all, prolly one or two games, and I'll buy my iMac on my own, and get my DS when it comes out here.

[Doraemon]

Cube-like G5 microtower for somewhere around $1000.

Now, that would be sweet!

[slooksterPSV]

Doraemon:
Hey if you ever get rid of the ones in bold, tell me, I'll buy one from ya:
PowerMac G5 Dual 2 GHz
iBook G4 12-inch
PowerMac G4 Digital Audio (466)
iMac BondiBlue (Rev. B)
PowerBook G3 (Rev. B)
PowerMac 8600/200
PowerMac 5500/225
PowerMac 4400/160
PowerBook 5300c
Performa 630 DOS Compatible
Macintosh LC
PowerBook 100
Macintosh Plus

[joepunk]

Music... damn, I saw Death Cab for Cutie last night (great show!) but I have all their cds, I can't think of many other cds I long for.

If you haven't picked up The Postal Service album you should ask santa for it. It is extremely good and they are awsome live (I saw them at the Gorge in WA State). The lead singer (Ben I think?) from Death Cab For Cutie is a member.

[aethier]

All i want for christmas is for apple to announce the dual core g4 powerbooks, so i could buy myself one with my own hard earned moeny working as chef d'équipe at mcdonalds, to replace my lemon (rev, a 1.25ghz 15 inch powerbook)

as for from my parents, well not really anything, i work so i pretty much buy myself whatever i want when i want it, which pisses them off, because they never know what to get me. and when they do think of something they find out that i already bought myself that item like two weeks before

EDIT: well now that i think of it, i could use stargate sg-1 dvd set of seasons 4-8 (is 8 on dvd yet) to add to my collection of season 1,2,3
EDIT2: oh right obviously season 8 is not on dvd yet, that season has just begun like two months ago

Dear Santa:

I've been pretty good this year :rolleyes:, Wacom Tablet please :p


OooOOooo. A power book :D

[yinyang]

a 23" lcd display would go down well, as would a motorola razr v3 :cool:

[Mechcozmo]

Well, seeing as Jews don't have Christmas and instead get 8 nights of fun stuff... (Hanukah, but it is spelled all kinds of ways)

Night 1: Power Mac G5, the works
Night 2: A PowerBook 15", the works
Night 3: A combination of Virginia Tech and the US Army supercomputers... massive folding points!
Night 4: A Power Mac G4, Dual Processor 1.42 to be made into a server
Night 5: A lot of random computer parts, to be used to build stuff (Linux boxes, Windows boxes, various boxes)
Night 6: A keyboard and mouse for the PowerBook, Power Mac. Bluetooth of course...and if the mouse was a gyro mouse, that would be really freakin awesome!
Night 7: The Tungsten T|3, with a 1GB SD card and Documents to Go 7
Night 8: A crud load of cables, cards, and the like to wire it all together.
