OT: Anyone getting fun toys for the holidays?

Evan Koblentz wrote: I just blew most of my budget on a new digital camera - a Canon EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi). It's a nice camera, but buying it has thinned my wallet considerably... I did get some nice pictures out of it though - <http://gallery.philpem.me.uk/v/eos400d/>. Shame it's been alternating between freezing cold, cloudy, and heavy rain (and combinations thereof) all week. Not exactly prime photography weather... I'm hoping to get a 70-200mm lens for the 400D later on this month, and maybe a new TFT monitor (the antiglare coating on my Mitsubishi CRT has failed, and it's picking up a nasty static charge while it's running - switching it off results in me getting zapped). To be honest though, the one thing I do want is the Jupiter Ace motherboard I asked Lee Davison to repair. He seems to be actively ignoring my emails and I've lost his snail-mail address... That's OK. Not everyone does - frankly I couldn't give a hoot. The winter holiday is becoming rather over-commercialised IMO. -- Phil. | (\_/) This is Bunny.
