Dang, THAT's what I forgot when I went to Trader Joe's!

(okay, I have to ask...what is it for? Rebar for a driveway? Giant spiderweb for a robotic arachnid? Framework for the neighborhood's best animated rooftop santa sculputure?)

Very nice. In my opinion no laptop come close ergonomically to the Thinkpad, even post-IBM. They've been my Linux grab-n-go starting with the 755 & T40 and later, x200. You will likely come up with endless uses...Enjoy!

Some Super Smash Bros. DLC
Some Virual Console games (Galaga, Castlevania, Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man IV)
And I bought a Hello Kitty game for my 3DS. It was on sale.

That & the driver support is perfect. Not multitouch but the trackpad is, Wacom digitizers are sharper anyway. I found out about the X series in middle school and have been waiting to find a deal ever since. These make me think back to Powerbook Pismos, Averatecs, Lifebooks, black MacBooks and my Samsung NC10. Probably would have bought an 11e tablet chromebook because I need a touchscreen these days for my GUI pursuits but getting a sandy bridge i7 was cheaper! This one's replacing a dual core atom netbook, it has 2x the ram/swap and I can answer root prompts with my thumbprint. Fedora 23 is hands down easier than iOS and apart from the appliance that is my Windows Samsung, it's all the work machine I need. Oh and everything else works, mine got a multiband 3g modem I need to forge a SIM for. Dualband wifi, bluetooth and the magnesium lid add up to a much better deal than an iPad...

Secret santa present for workmate (though I've changed my mind on what to get them now and I'll probably keep what I bought for me)
New lounge cushions (blue sequined ones)
Christmas ribbon for front door (didn't want to go whole hog with a wreath)
