Best Christmas Ever!

So there are several things that is making this one of the best Christmas's ever...

#1
So after a round of golf with my dad and brothers, we were on the way home and my dad asked if I wanted an iMac... I was thinking, "What kind of set up is this?" So I took a stab at it and said, "umm... yeah sure". Thirty minutes later we're all at home and ended up ordering me the the best iMac available! Take a look at my set up, I'll get tan just by sitting at my desk! Thanks dad!


Specs:
24-inch Display
2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme
4GB memory (like I really need that)
750GB hard drive
8x double-layer SuperDrive
ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory




#2
One of my good friends ended up getting me the best Mac Mini available! I've been wanting to set up a HTPC (Home Theater PC) for a while now, but have been putting if off since I haven't purchased a new TV. Well now that I have the Mini, I'll have to start looking!
Specs:

SuperDrive
2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB memory
120GB hard drive




#3
We're having a boy! Though I would still love my baby if it were a girl, but teaching a boy how to fish seems a bit easier!

#4
Last and not least, but far more important than all material items. I have been lucky enough to have family, friends and partners that are healthly, loving and caring. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Years!
