Dear Santa,

I know this is a bit early, Santa, but I also know that you're a very busy guy, and also probably a bit strapped for cash this year, given the downturn in the North Pole real estate market and what must be astronomically high heating oil bills for your pad.

So, I wanted to give you a heads-up so you can start assembling the coin. All I want for Christmas is this humble little trinket. I've been a very good boy (don't listen to that person in Tyler who thinks I'm a big meanie), and I promise to use this present wisely and also to be kind to reindeers.

Thanks in advance.

Your pal,

You know who

And here I thought it was going to be about Leopard, which by the way is just 24 hrs away. It's the biggest upgrade to OSX since the last time they upgraded OSX ... lol

Are you kidding? I've never even upgraded to Tiger. My old and busted G4s are still humming along with Panther, and doing quite well, at that.

That's why I'm really counting on Santa to come through, so I'll have a reason to run Leopard!

Open up the mac with the bling

Oh Golden Mac
To the Tune of "O Tannenbaum"

Oh Golden Mac, oh Golden Mac,
Your case is so effulgent.
Oh Golden Mac, oh Golden Mac,
You seem so, well, indulgent.

Bill Gates has one, I understand,
'Cause Windows boxes are so bland.

Oh Golden Mac, oh Golden Mac,
You seem so, well, indulgent.

BTW, is there any place in Midland where one could buy Leopard tomorrow?

Whoa, Jim...you might want to go easy on the Nyquil, big guy.

effulgent

Excellent! (I had to look it up.)

I do wonder if Mark Cuban has one of them.

Re: Leopard, beats me. As I said above, I'm already one OS behind, soon to be two.

So much better than just plain ole Advil

You really think that's a chick magnet? I guess it depends on whether you drive up in a 12 year old Nissan Sentra or a new H2.

I was going to say Good luck with Santa but I think I also need to say Good luck to Shannon hehe...
