I just installed my first 2407FPW. Wow! It is a very nice display. Unfortunately, the user has it set to a horrible resolution (1024 x 768) "so the letters are nice and big". What a waste.

Like all our Senior Management and their 20" WS at 800x600.

I used to run 1600x1200 @ 75 on my Hitachi Super Scan 751, our company bought 21" CRT's for us and they couldn't do 1280x1024 as clear.

Bought myself a Sony G500 for home and another for office use

 

[vi edit]

Bought an SD800IS a few weeks back, *might* be picking up a kayak tomorrow.

I also heavily contemplated grabbing a second Garmin Legend Cx GPS bundle for myself this morning.

I just have three cats .

Have to buy for my brother/financee, my parents, her family in Japan (parents, 2 married brothers and 3 kids).

The thing that kills the deal with Japan is shipping is a bit steep once you get over 5 or so pounds. Then getting return gifts is next to impossible as shipping out of the country is highly expensive.

:Q

do you live down south or something?

 

[meltdown75]

Nothing yet but I'm thinking about an iPod.

 

[chairbornrangerx]

I bought myself a motorcycle =)

Ducati Monster 800 ie dark

Here it is!

 

[cheapgoose]

building myself a single speed, built myself a new road bike. And treating myself to a snowboarding trip to whistler for xmas.

almost forgot, new snowboarding setup. GNU rider's choice, Nidecker NDK bindings, and Vans Fargo Focus boots. with a new outfit, I am no longer a Burton whore.

 

[ponyo]

Nintendo Wii and 42" plasma.

Still looking/want C5 Z06 or C6 Vette for Christmas.

 

[UTmtnbiker]

I've gone a little insane this year for both me and my wife. I just got a big promotion and the wife's business is doing quite well this year.

My list so far in the last 2 or 3 weeks...

1. Building myself a new road bike so I picked up a Specialized S-Works Frame and Dura Ace components - just need the shifters/brake levers and cranks now to finish it
2. Nintendo Wii with 2 games and 4 remotes/4 nunchucks
3. Gears of War, Ghost Recon, Table Tennis, Madden 07, NCAA Football 07, NHK 2k7 (when am I going to be able to play all of these?)
4. 2 fancy shmancy chairs for our front formal room and an armoire for our bedroom
5. 19" LCD TV for the bedroom
6. Whole bunch of clothes (mostly for work but it came out of the Xmas budget)
7. Cycleops bicycle trainer now that it's getting colder outside

Check out GeoCaching if you haven't already...Kayaks get you to a lot of interesting ones.

I got myself a Kangol hat off eBay, but I think I might get a nice pair of headphones. Sennheiser HD580 or HD595 I'm thinking.
