Your '08 haul
« on: December 25, 2008, 03:48:11 PM »
Just curious about what all you CH'ers out there received for the holidays.

I got a new monitor (now running a dual setup), an iHome, and some clothes.





I'm really enjoying this setup.


What all did you guys get?

remember people- it has nothing to do with spending time with your family or seeing old relatives... No... It's all about the presents. the presents. It's not giving that is the spirit of the season, it's recieving!


Now, to be a complete hypocrite- I got a computer desk and chair. And I gave nothing of value. (some DVDs)
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

    I got to see all the family  in one place at one time and a great dinner. My only disappointment was a gift from one of my grand kids, a book titled, Computers for Dummies. Do you think he was trying to tell me something. Oh well.

    Actually, those are a fairly good line of Computer books. Obviously it shouldn't be the only type of book in ones collection. I have

    "Fixing and repairing PCs for Dummies" (1st edition AND 15th Edition)

    and

    "Windows 95 for Dummies"

    Hmm, I think I'll start a "What computer books do you own" thread... off I go...

    I got some money, which will pay for what I hope will be my last driving lessons, assuming I pass my test this time, some books, clothes, and the ubiquitous deodorant/shower gel combos.
    Gave some shirts to my dad, CDs to my mum and sister, all well received.
    Had a better Christmas than most years, but although I hate to complain it still wasn't great, so unfortunately still not a good time of year for me.

    I never said there was anything wrong with it. Sometimes those charges for a visit to the dump can be ridiculous.

    I got gift certificates from computeruler ;D

    Then, from my family, I got mostly gift cards, too (those *censored* people are getting lazy!!)

    Then I bought me some gifts, myself ;D
