I got a lot more than I expected, only thing I kind of wish I got that I didn't was a T shirt and CD I asked for, but I'm happy I got anything at all, so I'm not complainin. :)

-Black DVDR drive (Supports all sorts of formats, got a 30 DVDR+ pack too)

-160gb HDD (Can starrt ripping more music, since my 120gb dedicated music HDD is full :) )

-3 blank colored T shirts and a soft long sleeve flannel

-2 Photoshop books (And a PS magazine with CD) and a book by Neil Peart called The Masked Rider I think

-Incense, candy and a stuffed monkey doll

-Dances with wolves on DVD :)

-Some expensive deodorant from Paris my dad used to get, I'd always play with it as a kid and rub it on his towels and make him mad, hahah. Smells real good.

I have some other stuff I haven't gotten yet, that's in the mail or lost or something. 3 XBox games, Gun Valkyrie, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Morrowind. Also I think my grandmother sent me some money, how nice of her. :)

Going to get a Chuck Palahniuk book (I know this because my mom called me from the store asking how to spell his name)

My dad sent me 200 dollars, which is going to go towards a 40gb ipod (I'm paying the other half)

Oh, jeeze, bud- I know the feeling, my family was there not too long ago. Drop me a PM; if you don't mind second hand, I have a few moniters lying around I could gladly spare.

I got a new bottle of my favorite cologne (gap scent for men, it's OLD stuff, didn't think they still sold it), $100 towards an ipod mini (but i'm getting a xen micro - pink!!) and a nifty little clay statuette of Confuscious.

not a whole lot; it's a modest christmas, but i'm happy with it :)

Clothes... oh yeah, and clothes.

By the way, how does everyone else react when they open a Christmas present and see clothes that they'll never wear? Do you say, "Oh I like it, it looks great", or do you tell them the truth?

hmm good question.......but i gave my dad some "Go Happy Feet" slippers (the ones that look like oversized sneakers but r really comfy) and he told me he didn't like them :( so if u wanna make the person feel better i guess say u like it :p

      Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
