Well, I have $100 to spend from my grandma for Christmas. She seems very eager for me to figure out what I want to do with it. As I am the last of the grandchildren to spend it, haha. Anyways, I have come up with 3 ideas...
1. Fujifilm Finepix 7.3 Megapixel with 3X optical zoom. I would like a camera because I do not own one, as I just use my g/f's camera. It is $140, so I'd have to put in my own money, which is the case with all 3 of my choices. I'm not entirely sure how much use I'd have for it, but it would be nice to not have to use my g/f's camera.
2. Western Digital My Book 500GB USB 2.0 HDD. With Leopard and Time Machine approaching, I definitely want to make use of it. Our iMac has a 500GB HDD, so I'm assuming that the external has to match the size of the internal in order to do those "complete system backups." But, do you need more than your internal, because if it has to do a complete system image, where does it store the file history stuff? Anyways, the price is $200. Also, hopefully Time Machine supports USB and is not exclusively FireWire, highly doubtful, I know.
3. New Cell Phone. I am not particularily happy with my current Razr from Cingular. My mom is eligible for a phone upgrade Dec 31, and she really likes my Razr. She can take my Razr, and I'll use her phone upgrade for myself. I was thinking of something like the BlackJack or a different Winblows mobile phone. I do like the idea of being able to browse the internet, but am afraid that it is just a novelty, and I really won't use it for much more than what I'm able to check on my Razr (weather, sports, etc).
I am open to any other ideas as well, but what do you guys think?
