[lenswipe]

What does everyone want for christmas???

[Samhain13]

Would world peace be a reasonable request? :)

[lenswipe]

Would world peace be a reasonable request? :)

Tell santa :D:D

[LaRoza]

Would world peace be a reasonable request? :)

No.

Actually, compared to most other times in history, things are pretty peaceful right now.

[Samhain13]

^
I guess I'll just settle for nice new job then. :D
Merry Christmas!

[Antman]

I tracked down a Wii for my son, so now I get to play with it too.....

[mangurt]

A Wii would be pretty sweet. Already got a PSP that I have to fight my children over to play.

Don't suppose I could ask to have my house paid off, could I?

Merry X-mas!

[Lord_Dicranius]

For others to be as happy as me :)

[hanzomon4]

No.

Actually, compared to most other times in history, things are pretty peaceful right now.

Really, if that's the case world peace is way over rated.....

I want a Macbook pro...






in the dorm room of my Brand NEW College in the great CITY OF CHICAGO!!!!

[TeraDyne]

I want books, mainly ones on programming, writing, and mythology. Oh, and some good mangas like Tokyo Mew Mew and Free Collars Kingdom.

[cprofitt]

iPod? iPhone? How in heck can anyone associated with FOSS support those products?

For media playback I would want:


MEIZU MiniPlayer 2.4" Black 4GB MP3 Player (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855625003) or its larger brother MEIZU MiniPlayer 2.4" Black 8GB MP4 Player (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855625005) or if video playback was not of concern the iAUDIO 7 1.3" Silver 4GB MP3 Player I7-04SL (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855228010) would work nicely under the tree.

I would NOT ever by an Apple product.

As for me personally... I just need new pants.

[SunnyRabbiera]

If it were possible I would like a macbook, been thinking of getting one for work

[BobCFC]

ASUS eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee PC

(+2gb ram upgrade + 16gb thumb drive)

[Zipster90]

I would like Super Mario Galaxy and an Asus ePC would be pretty sweet. However, there are some pretty large and weighty gifts under the tree for me that I have no clue what they are.

[spamzilla]

I want an OpenMoko phone but its not out in time for xmas :(

[Ultra Magnus]

I'd like a fischer space pen - they can write in zero gravity, under water and in temperatures up to 500K!

[new2*buntu]

I would like Super Mario Galaxy
ME have it :) (it was early Christmas present)

[cprofitt]

Might as well just go buy a PC with Windows on it then... get more freedom with that then OS X.

[hessiess]

voted outher, i want absolutly nothing

[Lostincyberspace]

Why is psp on there twice. Nnd it has different vote numbers?

[Linuxratty]

We exchange gifts on Thanksgiving,so I have mine already...
And if it was not for part of it,I would not be typing this.

[Linuxratty]

Close...A new motherboard and power supply..

[gn2]

Linksys NSLU2 network storage adapter.

[Scotty Bones]

Linksys NSLU2 network storage adapter.

I'm installing Debian on one right now :)
I got another one I bricked around here somewhere...oh well :)

All I need is a good stick of RAM

Merry Christmas All

[koleoptero]

Other: I need everybody to leave me alone.

[pettijok]

I want santa to make every game for windows on Linux.

[forrestcupp]

Windows Vista Ultimate.

[oldb0y]

I wish for a great Ubuntu-2008:grin:

[yabbadabbadont]

Other: A jackpot winning lottery ticket.

(Then I can buy whatever I want ;))

[Dimitriid]

Yea I like to point out that 2 PSP Freudian slip, I had to vote other since there is no NDS option.

[dvader]

I would like to be able to have Ubuntu 7.10 work with out rebooting two or three times... using a Nvidia graphic card and a Asus mb

Too many problems using a alpha 8.04

Cheers to all

Dvader :)

[tadcan]

You could support Linux and list the GP2X (PSP like) console.

[Pethegreat]

A pencil would work just as well. The US spent tons of money on a pen that would work in space. The USSR just used pencils.

I just got $250 for Christmas. That went towards a $800 carport. I did order myself 2 meraki mini wireless internet nodes. Now I can put my computer elsewhere without running tons of cable. They should get to me soon.

I would like about $500 in CDs. I got my sights on a Led Zeppelin set and 20 or 30 other CDs. I only have about 40 right now.

[EnergySamus]

Hey Lenswipe remember me from the dual boot forum?
Anyway I want a T-Mobile Shadow or a Sony MYLO.

EnergySamus

[meborc]

i really would like to get an eee ;)

i am not so convinced yet to buy it, but to get it for christmas would be great... too bad i'm too old... i'll probably get socks from my granny :) and a book or two...

of well... i just have to wait until 10'' eee's come, then i have no more reasons why not to get one

[LookTJ]

A good 2008 and a girlfriend. :)

[undine]

None of those ridiculous gadgets, I can tell you right now. In fact, I don't want anything because Christmas is a complete crock.

[yabbadabbadont]

Don't ask and ye shall not receive... :D

[BluePlum]

A dinosaur

[yabbadabbadont]

Someone has been watching, "Meet the Robinsons". :D

[samtay]

[rabid9797]

[JeffoOfMetal]

I believe I might receive a bass guitar this Christmas.

I'm excited since our band will finally have a bass.

:guitar:

[yabbadabbadont]

I'm excited since our band will finally have a bass.

You could have bought one at any time at the fish market... :D

My guitar has been in my closet so long, that I have lost all my calluses. :(

[CCNA_student]

I wish I could get people to in Wheatland California to join my Linux User's Group. I also wish I could get more people to go to church with me and accept Jesus as saviour.

Sin Cere,

[fuscia]

good luck with that. i'm still trying to get everyone to accept jack daniels as their saviour.

[D-EJ915]

I'd like to know what I want to do with my life.

As far as material things, meh, I think I'm good for now, I want a new pickup for my guitar but I think I'm alright.

[m0eman]

eee pc

[Lostincyberspace]

I know some thing that would be nice bill gates hate mail.

[lenswipe]

frikkin pointless if you were in temperatures such as 500K then you would be dead!!:lolflag:

[lenswipe]

[QUOTE=yabbadaddadont:My guitar has been in my closet so long, that I have lost all my calluses. :([/QUOTE]

[vishzilla]

[mikecomua]

[slimdog360]

[Skweek]

[Trinexx]

I just want a decent computer. I'd be happy with 1.2ghz and 256mb RAM. Seriously, this old XT858 is murder for a gamer like me :(

Assist all the locals with their numerous pc problems and recover the old machines they all seem to have lying around.
Buy some cheap parts from online and turn those old machines into PC`s that even the old owners,with their shiney new machines can only but marvel at.
Thats what i`d just been doing for the last 22 months that we`ve owned a pc.:)

Had everything from the first really old 550Mhz machine with m.e on it, through to the latter 3.2Ghz thing with XP.Not had a Vista machine yet although i have had Vista,for a short while anyway.
I am now using one built from new but the others still in use (3xDesktops & 2x Laptops) are all ones i`ve revived myself along the way.
All the older desktops are 1.8-3.2Ghz machines,with mostly 512Mb of ram and added gfx cards but they`ve all been more than adequate.

I only bought myself some shiney new parts because i was jealous of all the gadgets & gizmos the kids got for Xmas.......and the fact that i cant really get my hands on the things.I managed last year but this year i crumbled:-\"
I was once very close to being PCWorld fodder though so i`m ever so thankful to all those old machines.....and places like this of course:)

Now that i think about it one of our old desktops and one of our laptops are both again off to good homes... very soon.
Both running better with their fresh XP(legite) installs than any "Vista capable" thing they could possibly afford to go out and buy.

[diskotek]

world peace and nice external soundcard (m-audio?)

damn, i'm late....

I only just gathered what the thread was initially about:oops:

I got exactly what i wanted i suppose......a nice big happy family.......](*,)

:popcorn:

[b0rka7a]

I want everything from the poll plus normal PC (mine's very very old). Something like:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (now - Intel P4 2.40GHz)
DDR2-800 Transcend Kit 2GB (now - DDR-400 512MB)
HDD Western Digital >= 750GB SATA2 (now - 80GB)
XFX GF 8800GTS 512MB "Apha Dog Edition" (now - inno3D GeForce 7300GT 256MB)
DELL LCD >= 19" and faster than 8ms (now - DELL 1700FP 17" LCD (30ms ?!?))

Of course, I can't even think of having a PC like that, because in Bulgaria you work for about $400 per month and everything here is so expensive (for us). :cry::cry::cry:

[xpod]

Being a good tight Scotsman....living in London....everything here is also soooo expensive(for us).:)

Sorry,i should`nt make such light because i know better than anyone just how fortunate we are in life.
Our own perceived mis-fortunes kinda pale into obscurity with those of others around the world.

I do hope everyones New Year brings them better tidings....or better pc`s if that be their wish.The old ones are just as good though so dont worry about it.It`s trivial.
