[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 960066, member: 9385"] Who is to say they'd be able to put two and two together even if they did? And nobody's addressed the fact that this young man has sullied the spirit of Xmas by searching for his present and ruined the charm and wonder of opening gifts on Xmas day? It's terrible that his parents won't enjoy the full surprise of such a cool gift. He should be asha- NAH just kidding. I did stuff like that back when I was a teenager too. My parents thought they were pretty clever with their hiding places but they neglected to account for the ultimate teen weapon: lots of free time and in my case, time alone in the house. I'd say I was truly surprised by a gift on Dec 25 maybe once, but that's only because in the cat and mouse game the cat had gotten more clever as they gained teenaged-son experience. Your new soon-to-be-yours Macbook Pro probably didn't really have time to fully boot up to the start-up "Welcome" page so it's fine. Cool parents getting you that as a gift, back in my day the only cool Xmas gift I got was a rifle (that would be the one surprise; Dad had gotten pretty wise to his son's present-finding skills) ;) [/QUOTE]
