AS far as I know, if it is the Toaster NES, you don't need a Gamebit, just a regular Phillips Screwdriver will do.

Yep, I just cleaned mine out last week, it uses regular philips screws.
And so far for Christmas I got a $25 Amazon gift card from my Aunt, and i have to wait till Christmas day until i get the rest of my gifts.

Well I will probably be getting a new computer because I put my Macbook on eBay...but otherwise I have gotten a 100 pack of DVD-R's and CoD: WaW for 360.

All that remains now is the cards with loads of cash in them

I have no clue what kinda screws the Top loading NESs have.

My brother has one, I'll be sure to get back to you on that.

Yep you're right- I just checked. Sorry for the failed joke. Interestingly my Zelda cart doesn't use gamebit screws like the other NES carts. Is it supposed to be that way?

That's me! And my iBook died a long time ago....

It has since been replaced by my EeePC 901.

Well one thing I'm getting for sure is an old Apple IIc (Thanks Triton!). Apart from that, I've discovered via snooping that I'm probably getting Guitar Hero World Tour!

Eh, I dont get much for presents on christmas. But then again, I don't ask for anything either. I usually just get stuff that I need like socks, soap & food, with a few other odds and ends (like solder and ammo). I don't ask for anything present wise. Andy Rooney said it best:

"Don't bother buying me something you think I might want. Chances are, if I wanted it, I would already have bought it."
