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.

Dual? or dual core? 😀

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 😀
 
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
 
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... 😀
 
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!
 
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 😀
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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

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.
 
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 🙄 )
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.
 
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...
 
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)

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.
 
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


😉
 
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!
