I didn't really need any, but my brother got me this cool book on the secrets of Tiger. Did you get anything good?

The girl friend to got me a new iPod (60GB with video) because I was so fed up with my 4G. That's the only "Mac" thing I got.

Griffin's iCurve for my iBook... looks really nice on my desk - much better than my 2 thickest books stacked on each other.

Got an isight to go with my 15"PB. I like the camera design, but it's a bit large to hang off the laptop LCD panel. The slightest movement to the laptop, and the camera wobbles endlessly. (Even when screwed down.) For the money it really should be able to track the subject like the logitech, and come with a low light capability so an external light source is not required. The shutter should be able to close itself when not 'on air.'

Overall, nice design to go with my PB...and I'm greatful for the gift....just glad I didn't have to spend money on it.

...as for the ichat app...I wouldn't know where to start....it's a joke.

What's wrong with iChat???

It's intended capabilities....for steve to suck more $$$ out of us. That's my objection with ichat. The app is pratically useless unless you subscribe to the the ridiculous .Mac service. Yeah you could sign up for the free trial...but what good is trialware/crippleware? One should be able to use that ichat to logon to IRC channels at least or something of that nature...

In fact that concept of money grubbing has been my biggest gripe against apple. I love their hardware....they're all very beautiful as an object itself....and accept the premium price tag, but the hidden strings attached to them make them less appealing to me everyday. For instance...

ipod...steve really wants you to subscribe to itunes music store, but you don't have to...but it is more convenient.
ichat...steve really wants you to subscribe to .Mac service.
What's next? PB...steve really wants to charge you for switching it on???
It's getting ridiculous. Yeah, the're alternatives....but that's another story.

Well...

The sister got a 60 gig Black to replace her 20 gig 3rd gen (she got it repaired after the battery settlement, but the guys at Best Buy completely ****** it up, it's so scuffed you can't even see the screen).

Mom got my Dad a 4 gig, black, Nano.

And I ended up with $250 toward my 20" Apple external Display for my Powerbook.

So in all that's two 3rd gen 20 gigs, one 4th Gen 60 gig Photo, and two 4 gig Nanos, one black, and one white. That's 5 iPod and a top-of-the-line PowerBook... man Steve Jobs must love my family...
