For my wife:

Last year: A USB wireless mouse/laser pointer for presenting lectures.

This year: A 256 MB thumb drive.

lol.. you suck

no offence or anything...

Da5id4Vz · 14th February 2004, 04:03 PM

well, um, yah... I do.
I guess that was kind of the point.

But these are things she likes, uses, and wont buy for her self. (of course I enjoy buying them to) She teaches finance, she can use the thumb drive to store her lecture notes, and uses the mouse-pointer for presenting the lectures.

A few years back she placed a moratorium on chocolates and flowers. Makes it a bit more challenging.

I must do better next year.

Epilogue:

She’s tossed the zip drive that she used to live with in a drawer where it now gathers dust.

The memory drive has been declared "life changing" and "one of the best gifts she’s ever gotten"

Go figure.

I bought my gf for X-mas "The Sims" and all expantion packs. She actually cried she was so happy. I havent seen my PC since.

Mrs Y got Tivo, for which she is slobberingly grateful.

I learned a lot about the origins and thought process behind "The Sims" in this book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...26313?v=glance

COMPLEXITY: THE EMERGING SCIENCE AT THE EDGE OF ORDER AND CHAOS
by Mitchell M. Waldrop

My wife had it from a philosophy of education class she took. Told me one or to tales from the book and I was hooked.

I would recommend the book to every one.

I think if Mrs. 5id were to buy me a Tivo, it would surely make me cry.
