Default Holiday Wishlist.
Today is "officially" the start of holiday shopping hell, although I already had a headstart on buying a few gifts one month in advance. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

So what is on everyone's wishlist? I'm pretty much set for now, but I wouldn't mind having the following:
  • 12-inch Powerbook G4 with Superdrive - Or hold-out for the new G5 next year
  • Etymotics ER-6i earphones
  • iPod docking station with audio-out
  • iTunes Music Store gift cards
  • The Cult Of Mac hardcover book by Leander Kahney of Wired.com
  • The Office and Seinfield DVD boxsets
  • 46-inch or larger HDTV - No idea which model, but I like those new Samsung DLP monitors
  • Eames leather armchair
  • John Cooper Works MINI Cooper S - Chili Red/White/Checkered Flag roof 8) -- Or a job to save-up for the down payment and monthly.

Might as well throw-in a personal mechanic in there too. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Jeesh, what's with all the hate for Macs? A 1.5ghz Mac will outperform most much faster PCs. I've been drooling over a PowerMac G5 for ages now, but sadly it is way out of my price range. images/smilies/sad.gif

And what do I want for Christmas: Gran Turismo 4.................. images/smilies/cry.gif images/smilies/cry.gif images/smilies/cry.gif

Money, IMO, is the best gift for any occasion. I mean, one, EVERYBODY loves money and two it allows the receiver to actually buy something he or she actually wants instead.
