Title: Christmas lists
Post by: Shockwave on December 11, 2009
What are you guys all hoping for this Christmas?

I feel that I have everything I need so there's nothing on my Christmas list. I just want my family and friends to have a great time this year. It would be cool to know what you are all hoping for though, it might give me some ideas :)

I'm getting a new wallet, cause mine is currently held together with cardboard, staples and electrical tape. Also prayers.

I don't really have anything on my list. Seeing the grandkids will be enough.

2 weeks where I don't have to think about work, with some good company is what I am hoping for :)

Relaxing, relaxing, relaxing ... and make up plans for 2010.

I have not made any list this year. There really isn't something that I really need, so what ever I get, I'll be happy with. This year I have taken some vacation days, so I will be off work from the 19th December until the 4th of January. That is my gift to myself this year :)

I'd like some new work trousers, and either of the following DVDs - Star Trek (the 2009 film), Terminator Salivation or Transformers 2.

I can tell from the lists that we are all getting old :) Hehe, I remember proudly handing my dad my lst for Santa claus many moons ago and watching the colour drain from his face.

Looking above, a new wallet gives me an idea.. Not that I need one, just a gift for someone else.. Thanks Slinks.

I'd like a patch that lets me play Simcity deluxe on Windows 7..

If you have the right CPU and the right version of Windows 7, there's a pack to download from Microsoft that will let you install XP and other OSs under VMs.  I've seen it at work, it's rather good, even though the apps are running under VM you can't tell, they just look like ordinary Windows apps running in Windows windows.

What I mean is, I'd love a novel by Vernor Vinge or Charles Stross or Ken McLeod, some T-shirts with 1970s kids characters on and some grog.

I've not got a list as such, but know I'll be getting myself a shiny new PC.

Can't wait! :clap:

I'd love for that too, after all we all have one goal in life no matter what colour or creed and that's to survive on this planet, that man is so insistant on destroying.

Another thing on my list is some dvd rw's so I can back up my Hard Drive. :D

A load of money or some whiskey. And a copy of the X Factor single, of course. Classy tune.

I got Left 4 Dead 2 and Modern Warfare 2 from my son-in-law who is a buyer for Gamestop here in the US. He can get all the good stuff.

Btw, he is going to the Super Bowl this year (American football) thanks to one of the sports games reps. I am in the wrong business. :)
