But, I'm getting(in the mail, lulz):
A qoob pro
A bunch of Ritek Mini-DVD-R's
A replica Twilight Princess Master Sword and Hylian Sheild
I might go buy some n64 games or a compact flash card tomorrow.

what did you want it to do?

also, if it's any consolation. It turns out that linux is horrible with dual monitors. Absolutely horrible. I'll probably see how freeBSD does.

I'm running XP

It was supposed to do picture in picture, to where I could have Tv on one side, and vga input on the other. Turns out, it didnt even do anything like that. I wanna get that man fired, he ruined my christmas.

I was just trying to cheer you up by telling you that you aren't the only one having display related trouble with their gifts

i didnt get much present wise (didnt ask for much)

My main present was a cheap SD video camera
other than that i got a second hand guitar fuzz pedal that needs a bit of fixing (dodgy contacts on the jack sockets, take all of 5 minutes to fix)
Life wont wait by Rancid
and a can of spray paint from my sister (i make my own t-shirts with spray paint, marker pen and stencils.

rest of it was just bits of cash here and there, got about Â£70 i think

I did however by myself a nice christmas present in the form of an xbox 360 with gears of war 1&2 and far cry 2. Been saving up for a while, just luck it fell near xmas really

If you appreciate what you've been given, then not exactly no.

I got $200 from my aunt and uncle, $200 from my grandma and $200 from my parents towards my computer. I am SOOOOO thankfull, since I just bought $900 of computer parts. My sister is buying a hoodie when we go to boston, where we are going to see my moms side of the family. I'm expecting like $100 in gift cards from my two aunts, probably target or home depot.

Electric razor
Nice snow gloves
