I got my first macbook. Best christmas ever. I've been waiting and hoping and arguing with my parents for 2 years, and finally convinced them. I was willing to buy the whole thing but only had to pay $350. Good day, good day. :D

I bought a SCSI board for my ASR-10 sampler keyboard. I got for $250 + free shipping off of eBay! SCORE!!!!!
I've been looking for one of these since buying it 2nd hand in England 3 years ago. The prices for the board have been outrageous since the keyboard is 16 years old and it isn't manufactured anymore making it hard to find.

We bought a Wii between all of us, so not a lot else came my way (though I bought extra's for the Mrs and daughter - typical!)
I did get an 8gb USB Flash Drive though, which will come in handy. Even then I had to order it - grrrr.
Happy Christmas everybody.

A bike, and that was basically it. I wanted a new iPod but alas, I didn't get on,even though I've been asking for a new one for at least 2 years. What really ****** me off is that my sister got a 16gb nano.

A number of cool things, but none of them really Mac related (aside from one - The Big Book of Apple Hacks).

These are my favorites:

1. Super Mario Wii
2. A Samsung slimline external DVD burner (handy for repairing Netbooks, which I seem to be getting a lot of in my little side business repairing PCs).
3. A swing arm workstation lamp with magnifying lense (also handy for repairing PCs, when I occasionally need to do soldering of fine components).
4. Star Trek (2009) on DVD.
5. Battlestar Galactica Season One (the new series).
6. A set of JA Henckels kitchen knives

Still have some family coming down from Fort Worth TX on the 28th, and I am predicting I'll be getting a Magic Mouse and the new Apple Remote, and maybe some more money.

I have been looking at this little guy for a while, so I'll be buying that with the money I received.
