I've been a good boy all year and my birthday's in November. I think I'll combine that and

x-mas and get myself an iPod (where are the holiday rebates!!?) or an iBook if it goes G4.



What's everyone else got their eyes on?

    Would come in handy every time you need to back up your system when you get a new one.

    After purchasing this $3399 PowerBook (plus a $299 AirPort Base Station--yes, Murbot, I decided to take it up the ass from Apple ) I'm so far into the red zone, I may never see the color black again. So, I'm counting on my girlfriend to supply me with Animal Crossing and Metroid Prime for the GameCube: two rather minor purchases in relation to this expensive, portable beast.

    Ah, Murbot, the only one who has lists of lists of the Apple hardware he has owned.

    Which alone warrant the necessity of a 20G iPod.



    *brain fries at the sheer thought of 20G of text*

    I am getting myself a lift kit for my jeep and some bigger rims and tires. And I also need some new riding boots when I go motorcycle riding. My current ones are worn down......but I am the only guy on this board that is getting this stuff for X-mas. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    Hey, how did this turn into a murbot thread?



    But yes, the 20 GB iPod would help with that. Actually, I'm deciding between an iPod and a large FireWire HD, 80-120 GB. That would make Mac swaps painless.



    I could even install OSX on a partition and run it off that... not even USE the new Mac's drive.



    As for the list... I've been meaning to compile a list with dates, but damn I wouldn't know where to start. The first 8 are easy, then I really started to repeat myself. I couldn't tell you when I had iBook #2 and iBook #3... then there's the 3 PowerBooks...



    Ah, forget it.

    Ah, they're not all bad. They have a 56k modem port, and they ARE the easiest thing out there to set up. And of course, the looks.

    Me? I'm getting my parents an eMac this year, since I've never done anything big for them, and they are *really* aching to dump their PC. I mean, they're right up Apple's "switch' alley - digital photos, web hosting, secure pop-up-less surfing, easy e-mail, etc.



    It's tough, because my job income varies week to week, but it'll happen one way or another. They deserve it!

    AirPort, probably. I'm also looking for a 5" VGA LCD monitor.
