Well, it’s my turn again. I get to list out all the cool and neat things that would be fun to have. It’s pretty materialistic, but hey, when you’re going to get someone something, you might as well get something they want. Am I right? Last year’s list worked out pretty well. I ended up getting just about everything over the course of the past year.
Some of the wish list items are for Amy’s computer. Why, you might ask? Because having her machine work well for her makes me feel good. I brought her over to the Apple side a long time ago, and I feel a certain responsibility for making it a good choice.
As for the AirPort card, that’s far more selfish. You see, if she get’s an AirPort Card, I can move the Ethernet hub out from behind my desk and into the back room. Once that happens, I can move the printer back there as well, and we can hook up the scanner back to the 6400, which we can use as an MP3/File/Print server. The AirPort has a cascading effect for the whole network.
Looking back at last year’s entry, these lines are worth repeating:
“Though I’ve got to say, any of the above items would make great gifts. But they would be extras. All told, my life is pretty excellent as it is. I’ve got a beautiful woman who I’m deeply in love with, a couple of cats that adore me, a job where [this year this should say: I can grow my skills and abilities], and very few worries. All in all, it’s a very nice life.”
