Post What You Got For Christmas 2009

[Superman07]

I got a 23" Dell Monitor. It has lots of nice features like tilt, swivel, height adjustment. Built in USB hub and speakers. Full HD resolution and it looks wicked!

Gonna use it for a triple monitor setup with my 13" MBP! Just waiting for the Displaylink adapter to arrive for my other 22" Samsung monitor.

Odd. Looks like a U2410 to me.

nada

havent gotten a gift for Xmas in 3 years

Quite liberating from the materialistic aspect of Xmas

Me neither. I give or receive presents without the preasure of the calendar.

 

[davidjearly]

Wanted to try out the handwriting recognition in my new tablet!

Also, a pack of Pringle socks, a £30 Game voucher, some lounge pants, pyjamas, and some Bailey's Irish Cream.

Why you trying to be cute, man? What's "simple" about that google search. There's not much to go off of. Just for kicks I googled "Think black apple keyboard" and it wasn't on the first page.

If you look in the bottom left hand corner there's an HP logo.

I googled 'hp thin black keyboard' and it was the first hit and included a picture. That was pretty simple.

 

[Potomac]

What did I get?

* 13" Macbook Pro
* Ticket to the Capitals (NHL) game
* $$$$
* Custom jacket for my model railroad club (another one of my hobbies...)
* Various tools that will help me solve some issues I've been having on my model railroad

Here's some pics. Its P2310H. It's looks really nice to me, but I don't do any pro work with it (other than iPhone development).

Oh, just the blatantly obvious HP logo in the bottom-right of the photo.

 

[Archon Gold]

37" LG LCD TV

DJ Hero

Apple Aluminum Keyboard w/ Numeric Pad & Apple Wired Mighty Mouse, My father actually got these for me this morning on boxing day rather than Christmas day

XBL 12 month card

XBL 1400 MS points card

Think Geek Playable Guitar Shirt

Assorted Chocolates (Chocolate fingers <3 )

My father said I will be getting a new Mac soon, but not right this moment, most likely around New Years because I gave my Grandmother my Mac Mini since her iMac died, and I switched to my trusty 733Mhz PowerMac.

 

[waffles123]

What's that Camaro model/toy thingy in the top left? I love Camaros

 

[cantthinkofone]

I'm sorry

I agree. No hope.

I got:

Gift cards, Wally world, Kmart, bestbuy, itunes, sears

$100 cash from dad

Hug from my 11 month old daughter (best gift)

COD for xbox 360 (my gift to myself)

New shoes from New Balance. They are sending me a pair of MR8512WBs for free to replace my pair of 1350s that crapped out in three months. Should have then in 7-10 days they said.

There's some shame in admitting it, but I too have a model railroad! It's currently in storage while I'm at university, but as soon as I've finished with education I'll be building and running it again. Funny how I love model trains, yet *hate* real trains!

 

[dolphindolphin]

Nice jacket! Arcteryx are the bestest of the bestest.

I have an Alpha SV jacket.

I live for Arcteryx. I have a sidewinder, Hercules, gamma sv, and a covert hoody.

I agree that there is some shame in admitting to be inflicted with our "disease." If you don't mind me asking, what scale/gauge are you running? I have a collection of G, N, O, and HO. I operate G around the Christmas tree only and my main operating railroad is in 3-rail O gauge.

Personally, I love the real ones even more than the little ones. I ride one of our local commuter lines almost daily and every now and then, get a little treat in the form of seeing and riding behind a historic operating steam locomotive. In fact, I will be taking a class, probably next fall, to learn the secrets of steam and at the end of the class, have the ability to operate one of the 3 steam locomotives owned by the railroad that runs the class.

I hope you get your railroad up and running again soon!

Sorry for hijacking the thread!

the gf and i decided to take the leap! so now she is my wife =)

So after the rings, and the trip to nashville, the s2000, and the Movado watch she got me...we are tapped.

haha good times!

 

[backsidetailsli]

Hahahaa...I knew you would be the first to reply! This bass is extremely rare because of the finish. The bass in black, retail on guitarcenter.com is about $2500, but it has a OBP-1, schaller bridge, and a gloss neck. I checked the price listing for this bass in color with all the stuff and it comes out to about $3200 from a dealer. Direct from Modulus is like $4000. I got it for $1500 on eBay 2 weeks ago. The finish alone is nuts, like $600 for the body and another $200 for the satin finish neck. The bass sounds incredible, the sound of a Modulus is unbelievable. It's like playing a bass for the first time.

yeah thats amazing! congrats!
