Man! You made out! I'd never get anything like that.

I got 'Easy CD Creator 5', hot sauce(someone must have been reading my post:)), TV wall hanger(I mentioned I wanted), tv, jacket and other assorted things..

I took a bottle of that hot sauce and injected/marinated a turkey last night. I deep fried a regular 19# turkey last night, today I'm frying the 'HOT' bird (for those of us that like it HOT):)

Coupe Devil 12-26-2001 12:00 AM

Man I racked up this year. I got a new three piece Craftsman tool box, its taller than I am. A roll-around tool stand, a couple dvd movies, alot of real nice clothes, a new pair of Oakley's, a "Mustang Country" street sign, It's huge. I also got an uncirculated 2001 siver dollar, a real neat clock/calculator/alarm/calender for the office, a reamote control car, a box of "Tinker Toys" because I'm a Toys "R" Us kid at heart. That was all from family. I got myself a Couple goodie boxes from Summit Racing. My family was together again, we've had some problems with my older brother and his wife. But it is amazing how a new child will bring people together. It was really great to have evryone back together again. I may have also acquired an orignal 67 coupe,289 auto, no air, red with a black vinyl top. Not sure yet. My aunt bought it brand new and still has it. Maybe not for long. It is in great shape.

i got a swift kick in the a*s from the old man. and yes, it was signed, sealed and delivered! hey, it sure beats coal!

1969Mach1 12-26-2001 12:28 AM

I got a cool Sony Alarm Clock, Necklace, Sony MP3/CD Player, lots of clothes but I like clothes, umm... money, and some other odds and ends. But all I wanted was to spend my day with my g/f and I got to be her, I woke up early this morning and drove to go pick her up. I only seen no more then 25 cars on the road to her house, normally I'd say I see a good 500-600 I'm guessing but I mean it can be a standstill traffic. I was flying like a bat out of hell, nothing like all open road for 15km(9 miles) =) So I got to spend a good part of my day with her. =) And then my family. So it was a good Christmas afterall.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe holidays!

PKRWUD 01-01-2002 01:05 PM

My Mother bought me 4 hand blown glass Coca-Cola Christmas tree ornaments (I collect Coke stuff), a carton of cigarettes and an Apple iPod MP3 player. The iPod was a last minute decision, and as awesome as it is, I'm not a real big MP3 person. She get's a PC magazine called "On" (I think) that comes free with her Time magazine subscription. A recent issue was proclaiming the best PC things of 2001. When it came to best gadget, they selected Apple's iPod, and appologized to their Windows readers for doing so, but insisted their was no equal, and that they really had no choice. This so impressed my Mom that she went and bought me one. She knows that I am a pure Mac addict, and figured I'd love it, especially since even the PC folks are aknowledging it as being best. I do love it, and am actually fascinated by it, but I only have around 90 MP3's on my Mac, and this thing holds over 1000. I'm also not really sure when I would use it. I have stereos in every room of my house, and a nice system in my truck. When am I going to need 1000 MP3's? I guess I need to start playing with it and see what happens. That's always worked in the past. :D

I bought myself a new roll-a-way for my tune-up tools, and am going to buy a Bissel carpet cleaner tomorrow (unless anyone can convince me of a better one. Please do if you know of one!).

Take care,
-Chris

rbatson 01-01-2002 01:47 PM

Good to see you back Chris. I figured you were with family for the holidays, I almost took off for Ocala Friday to party with some of my family but decided against it(11 hrs drive, one way).

That ipod sounds killer! Do they make anything like that for us pentium users? I got my dad a stereo system for his F150 and it has a jack on the front to plug in a mp3 player. I have 1100-1200 mp3s on my cpu and my dad has easily twice as many, he could really use something like that ipod(mom and dad travel ALOT).

You have DSL? Do you have Morpheus yet??

PKRWUD 01-02-2002 10:38 AM

Rick-
Dude, this little thing is awesome. I am totally blown away. I have 277 songs on it now, and am at 19% capacity. I loaded the MP3's from the Mac to the iPod in two groups. The first was 100 songs, and the second was 177. It took 17 seconds to load the 100 songs, and 24 seconds to transfer the remaining 177. This thing is small enough to fit inside a pack of cigarettes, too. The sound quality is amazing, too! Very rich, deep bass and full range mids and highs. I don't have a clue how they fit a double bass drum in these little ear pod things, but that's what it sounds like. My understanding is that Apple is considering a software package for the Windows crowd so that they could use the iPod too, but it doesn't look good anytime before next spring. In the meantime, upgrade your system to FireWire. It transfers between 100 and 600 MB's per second. Mine seems to be around 400 MBps.

BTW, this little 5 gig doohicky can also store data files, and doubles as a portable hard drive you can fit in your shirt pocket.

I had Morpheus, but 2 weeks of anti-biotics, and that special lotion, and I'm all better. :D

Actually, I use Lime Wire.

Take care,
-Chris

Rocket 99GT 01-03-2002 11:08 AM

My wife got me a 57in Sony TV (flat screen-digital ready) and on top of that she got me a Sony dolby surround system which is 2 big speaker towers (one of the tower contains the dvd-am/fm) and 4 other speakers that are hanging around the family room.
I bought her Italian leather sofa an love seat.
I hope my 2 huskeys don't rip the furniture, boy they will be sorry.

rbatson 01-03-2002 11:55 AM

Man! That thing is the wave of the future.. Who needs CDs when you can carry you're whole music library in your pocket or glove box(rename to mp3 box?).

Firewire? My cpu has some firewire jack. Looks like a USB port(iLink?).

BTW... you smoke menthols!? Man, those are the worse things to smoke, they are actually worse than regular cigs.

rbatson 01-03-2002 12:02 PM

Rocket, man you have a real KEEPER there bro.

It must be a wide screen to be a 57".. flat screen? If its not a projection tv, then I need to see what you are talking about. Flat screen is in reference to the tube TVs. We were looking at the flat screens in best buy the other day, the biggest Sony 'flat screen' was a 42" or 47". It was a wide screen as well.

Rocket 99GT 01-03-2002 12:43 PM

"rbatson" yes the TV is a projection tv, my wife got both the TV and the surround system at Sears (total value $4000).
The day she bought the system Sears was giving a 10% discount and you don't pay until Jan 2003. Also Sears had a sign that they would match any cheaper prize so I went in the internet and found the tv for $200 less which they credit to the account.
The movies are (specially the sound) but this baby is made to watch football and hockey games.

rbatson 01-03-2002 12:50 PM

I heard they were doing that last year(Sears), I can't believe they are still doing it! How can they make money when they advertise something on sell for say.. $899 and I can use pricescan and find it for $599(digital camera)? They are either making a killing or losing money(probably making a killing). Sounds like you guys got one heck of a deal, hard to pass up.

Party on! :)

PKRWUD 01-03-2002 02:22 PM

Rick-
C'mon man, I'm not smoking to get healthy. I smoked my first cigarette 28 years ago, and it was a menthol I stole from my parents. I switched to regular cigarettes for 5 or 6 years, but ended up going back. I hate the taste of regular smokes, and would probably just quit if menthols were outlawed. besides, no one ever wants to bum a menthol, and at $3 a pack, that's important!

This iPod thing is really blowing my mind. I've never been a Walkman kind of guy, but the speed, sound quality and the shear volume this little thing has is changing my mind.

BTW, you never sent me a list of CD requests. I should burn you the same disc I sent Marty for Christmas. If you like to laugh, you'd dig it.

Take care,
-Chris

gt lee 01-03-2002 03:38 PM

Wow that is exactly what I need to get Marty, that is too cool. Where did your mom get it, and how much do they cost, if you know. Maybe if hes a good boy on his Birthday I could get him one of them. Odie

rbatson 01-03-2002 04:00 PM

Sorry Chris, I still have the CD I burnt for you sitting here. It takes me forever to do something. Sure, I like to laugh as much as possible.. some of these post really get me rolling:D I printed out your address, so I have that.. maybe I can pack it up today... don't know when I'll actually send it though(DOH!). I can't help it.. I'm slack I tell ya!

PKRWUD 01-03-2002 08:10 PM

Rick-
No no no, you misunderstood me! i had forgotten all about the cd you were going to send me. I was talking about when I offered to burn a copy of 1984 for you because some one walked off with yours. I told you to make a list of what cd's you needed, and if I had them, I'd see to it you did too. I was just commenting that I still hadn't gotten a list of requests from you. That's all. Relax. But then sit your arse down and write down your requests so I can see if I've got them for you!

GTLee-
The iPod is an Apple exclusive, so unless Marty has a Mac and didn't tell me, he's out of luck. Sorry!

Take care,
-Chris

Wow. That's actually one of my favorite questions in conversation. It's alot easier in person, though. There are dozens of reasons.

IMO, Apple still is better (Alot better). I have spent over an hour trying to write this, but it keeps sounding like a flame magnet, and I want to avoid a flame war. That isn't my intent. If you're really curious, email me.

P.S. FWIW, I spent 8 months last year in a PC repair and networking course, and went on to get my A+ Cert, so that you know my opinions are based on experience as well as preferences. I'm not just talking out of the side of my neck. I've found that the loudest Mac critics tend to be those who have rarely, if ever, used one.
