    I got SuSe Linux 7.0 (professional), System Commander 2000, and a CD Burner. I have only used Linux for about a day now and I already like it WAY better than Windows.

    Shock! Horror!
    You didn't say not to call you barrk...

    I got a DVD Drive, some books / CDs, and a neat screwdriver set with a telescoping bit with a magnet on the end, in case you drop screws down into something .

    Well. My family doesn't believe in giving presents so I didn't get much. However, instead they give money which I feel is much better! I got about 400 pounds from relatives in England! And 200 pounds from parents. So, I will soon have myself a Cambridge Desktop Theatre 5.1 FPS 2500 system. (Will go great with my DVD and 19"!)

    I got a call from the security division of my credit card company asking me if I made a lot of purchases on Saturday, December 23. They actually called my house on Christmas. I felt bad for the person that had to work, but even worse for me, because I have to pay that bill.

    PIV with the 1200 (?) chip and room to insert a second 2000 chip in it when becomes available in January. Phantomd has pre-purchased the second chip for me....

    Got him a PS2 so don't feel so bad about what the PIV 2000 probably cost him.

    So far have purchased Red Hat Linux to load onto the beast, and will download MySQL to run on it. Thereby getting an out of control file server. You know the idea link with samba to vb and c apps on a desktop machine. Will replace the new 21" monitor with my existing 17" monitor. Way cool

    I got one of those heating and massaging covers for your chair at work. It's kind of distracting though, because I get too comfortable and my mind wanders away from work.

    And...my mom got me a food dehydrator. (Not exactly what I asked for. I actually gave her a list of books that I was looking to buy, but I got a food dehydrator.)

    Other than that...nothing was that memorable.


    Normal is boring...
