OK, CH people, what are you hoping Santa puts in your stocking or on your desktop. Nothing outrageous or impossible, just your wish list or what a family member MAY be getting you that you wanted.
Rumor has it I am getting an iPod (the big one :o) . That sounds pretty sweet to me.
Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas everyone, even though it's a bit early yet.

Dear Santa,

LOL.. plus taxes
whats this uncaps street??

Street1 - lol.
I think he may want to ask Santa for a new keyboard, I think the shift key is failing ::)
Dilbert - nice graphics card you're going to get there. Wish I had one. Actually, wish I had a machine to put it in . . .
-
You know what I hate? The graphics card I have now was $170 when I got it. It's a GeForce 6600. Now, a 7200 is only $130. :-/
-
Lol. It is annoying the way tech prices change so rapidly.
For example, a laptop with the same level of hardware as mine would only cost about £600-£800 now, but it cost me £1350.
My friend bought a laptop for £800, the same level of hardware can now be bought for under £400.
I bought mine in May, he bought his in August - that's how rapidly the prices have changed.
It's not always bad though, as things become more affordable as time goes on.
It's just annoying when something blindsides you and you get left behind, like me and my friend :-/
-
yep
edit: my bad lol caps attack
-
There is nothing more annoying to me than finding after a long type that my caps lock key was stuck! I have to go back and change it all. >:(
I invested $15 in a simple program called sMARTcAPS which lets me disable my caps lock once and for all, every time I boot the Windows machine at home or at work. The second best money I ever spent on software, right after True Image. ;D

You sure your keyboard isn't having problems? My Caps Lock key is off by default... (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/c010.gif)

No, when I am typing away I frequently and inadvertently hit the Caps Lock when I am trying to get the tab or especially the shift key.
-
Ah, OK. :)
Actually, other than the vid card I'm pretty content. I feel secure knowing that "geek" used to be a 4-letter word. Now... now it's a 6-figure word. ;D
-
that calls for another lol!

Haha. Amen to that.
I'm actually hoping for a new iPod this year. The hard drive in the one I have now is scratched to piss. Guess I should stop taking it to work with me :P.

I have that problem, too. I find that setting Windows to give an audible tone when the Caps Lock key is pressed helps some. If Caps Lock is off and I press it, a high-pitched beep sounds; for Caps Lock, a low-pitched beep sounds. The setting for this is found in Control Panel, Accessibility Options; check the box for ToggleKeys. This also applies to Num Lock and Scroll Lock.
In addition to using the audible tones for ToggleKeys, the Logitech software that came with my current keyboard displays a message on screen for about 2 seconds, like this:

Tones are nice, but I like that darn key TOTALLY disabled. I never use it and when my fingers start flying on the keyboard it's hard enough just to stop my vowel movements. :o

LOL ;D i havent heard that one before!

Hmm... IDK what I want. Anything is fine I spose. Maybe some new hinges for my laptop.

My husband of almost 30 years passed away 2 years ago. Just before that he had lost his job and we had no insurance (had to cut bills to the minimum) and the Monday before the Thursday he passed away he had sent for all the "extras" that you get from your job. He didn't live long enough to get them. So when he passed away his family paid for him to be buried in Md (where he was originally from). All this is to lead into the fact that I have already got my Christmas present. I saved for 2 years to buy a memorial to place on his grave. I have felt awful not having something to mark where he is buried for two whole years. But I did it and it's being made as we speak and it's for both of us and this is the greatest present I have ever received. I loved him dearly and still do and just want to tell you all to hug your "special person" extra tight this year and never forget to tell them you love them. You never know when it will be the last time you will be able to say that. Also remember to not forget the CHRIST in Christmas. Please don't be sorry or sad over this post. I'm not posting for that reason. I'm posting because I'm happy I've accomplished something I have wanted for a very long time.
-
Good for you and thanks for sharing your love. ;)
-
HI ......girlysmiles , your words are so true.
You should be commended on your accomplishent.
A very Merry Christmas to you from the folks here at Computer Hope .

I wish I had enough get up & go to go fishing. :(
-
Wow!beautiful thing to share girlysmiles.
This is what it is all about faith, hope, and
charity.
Glad your two year wish was accomplished.
Merry Christmas.

...
A very touching story. Thank you for sharing it. My grandfather, married to my Grandmother for 42 years, died two years ago the weekend after Thanksgiving. It's been hard on all of us; he was a good man, a devoted husband and Christian. We've learned to live again, but without him, going to my Grandmother's house isn't the same. The biggest pity is that I didn't even spend half the time with him as I did with my Grandmother in his last year. But I still remember as a kid, listening to him talk about the space rockets he worked on, describing them as they lifted off into space. Today we have a displayed memorial of the planes and space craft he worked on -- 20 or more in total. I miss him dearly, and given the chance I would have spent greater time with him.
Peace, all. I'm leaving for the holidays.

a very touching post girlysmiles. thank you for that. :)
-
Thank you all and a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.
Fed where are you from that you have to pay to go fishing?
-
Merry Christmas to Everyone and a happy new Year to all.
Girlysmiles i happy you got your wish its very sweet even tho i don't know you.

[highlight]Awesome[/highlight] fish Fed...my favorite saltwater are wahoo and tuna...no it's not yahoo it's wahoo... :D Although I doubt if I ever get anymore ...I'm not the deep sea fisherwoman. LOL

Old picture, my boat has cobwebs growing in it. :(
-
Hey Fed, being a hardened fisherman you might know the awnser to this. A while back me, my dad and 2 of my dads mates went to Cuba and went Deep Sea fishing, (which was fab!). The thing is all we managed to catch was 15 Barracuda, which wasn't a problem at all. But my dad at the end managed to catch himself a 'Yellow Jack' and the guy on the boat who took us started jumping up and down with joy shouting 'Yellow Jack, Yellow Jack'. We never did find out what was so special about them, don't suppose you do do you?
Thanks
Chris
-
I have no idea Chris, we'll have to wait for a Cuban to tell us. :-?
-
Not sure what's special about them Chris, but here's a link to a picture they are very pretty fish:

OMG Fed now thats a fish...LOL...dust that boat off and get back out there...you just might catch another one...rof :)
Also like yellow fin tuna...can you Fed X from down under? :D

Nah, he's FedEx's CEO. :D
