What did you ask Santa for Christmas?

What are you hoping to find under the tree and are you worried you weren't nice this year? ;)

Painful. The new nano's are relativity cheap and much more reliable then older generations.

My iBook hard drive failed about a month after the warranty expired. They wanted $400 to fix it. I was able to grab one for $50 and replace it myself.

If you look closely at the attached picture, I created a chart on the white piece of paper to diagram the screw positions. There were about 30 of them I needed to remove to replace the hard drive.

The price you pay when design is more important then functionality.

Calico is a happy newlywed. Life is nice when you are in love.

I dont think Santa can put him under my tree with just a bow around him. And I think that would freak my kids out.

Or maybe a months supply of Rolling Rock?

I want a Long Valley Life Wristband.

I have a 3G iPhone, but I never owned an iPod. In general, you usually want to wait a few months before you purchase an Apple product. It seems the first ones out the door always have issues.

As far as computers go, you definitely pay a premium for a Apple, but the service is really good, until the warranty expires.

I'm not an Apple fan boy, but they make a lot of good decisions. The iPod and iPhone changed the game. Rumor has it that they are entering a new market next year.

Your God, Steve Jobs, may be announcing something in February. It's going to be personal electronics, so iCamera? iVideoCamera? What else is left?

Chris, that month's supply photo you posted would probably only last about 2 weeks ;-)

We have all the Rolling Rock we need. If the economy gets too bad, we will just go without out food to buy beer. Or better yet, we'll just work for beer.

I would think the interactive iToilet.

I know what I want for Christmas.... a new PANCREAS!!!

But, I don't want it under the tree... yuck!

On a more realistic note, I'd like another kitty, but my husband would probably choke me if there was one under the tree on Christmas morning!! LOL!!!

Does anyone know where Santa can get a cheap Wii, if at all?

Um, this is for an elf, so he can't exactly ask the elf to just make another. He has to go get one somewhere.....

Apple may be announcing a Netbook next month. Most obvious direction for them to go.

I asked Santa for a large external hard drive so I can backup my digital music and video collection.


RE: The next big thing from Mac

The iPhone Nano is one thing that keeps coming up in the rumor mill, but that isn't really a "new market". The other rumor I've heard is that they're adding PVR (you know, TIVO-like-functionality, ... recording shows without video tapes) to the appleTV. This would qualify as a new market.
