I got a new MP3 player and my wife got a 500 GB Maxtor external HDD. I have the MP3 player nearly full and she is working on filling the hard drive.

Altec Lansing's iMotion iPod speaker. Sadly, my mp3-player is not an iPod, and does not have the iPod connector necessary to connect to the speaker. Fortunately, the giver had a gift receipt ready for me, so I am about to have store credit at Best Buy. Hehe.

Oh, and the gaming computer that arrived a couple of weeks ago was technically an early Christmas gift, so I suppose that counts too.

It's a computer that I bought off of newegg.

Had a bit of a hard time getting the CPU installed after the glasses of wine at dinner :o

But I got it all working fine and dandy.

It's a Core 2 Duo @ 2.67ghz, with 2gb of Crucial DDR2 1066mhz ram with a 160gb SATA HDD.

Sort of . . . in a technical sense. I did buy myself a new SATA drive for my video cruncher PC (250GB Seagate Baracuda 7200.9 . . . ). It was - sorta - a gift from my wife.

I also got a gift card for Best Buys . . . that, coupled with some cash I received, will transform into a tech gift of some kind . . . :D

A wind up torch - 90 seconds winding gives 15 mins torch time!

Too cute, Halo. I need to get me some of those, or something to protect mine.

haha...I knew you all wouldn't disappoint. People at home look at me like I have two heads when I talk about the tech gifts. :D

I think this is the first year I didn't get anything geeky.. but I did buy this ( http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/9ebe/ ) for my son. Two laser guns so we can both play so I guess it's a quasi present for me too We had a blast (pardon the pun) all day yesterday and this morning :D

I do have 4G of RAM coming for me today, though most of my holiday cash went to buying a new washer because my other one decided that life wasn't worth it and bailed out on me.

Glad to see that everyone enjoyed their Christmas.. but remember..

BILLY STILL HAS MORE TOYS THAN YOU!! :D

But at least 'torch' doesn't make you think of something that flickers on and off all the time like 'flashlight' does. :D
