Great Xmas down here, Trolley jack, remington hair cutting kit and a Lance Armstrong book.
Oh and a digital camera.
XBOX Kinect for the young fella, so like everyone else just as much mine also.
Hope everyone got through the Xmas break safely.

, HID lights and braided lines. Plus did a one day trip to melb to get some stuff for the kids and managed to pick up a free front tyre in the process

I also got (read "bought myself") a Kobo (ebook reader).
I had too much booze, too much to eat and I am still paying the price.

Drank the relo's outta beer and got abusive after finishing work xmas morn, driving 3 hours so they could see the kiddo and they farkin organised 1 case of beer for 3 of us

@&#^*#)$_#*(#*^@&*@^^%* later, a trip to another relo's place to raid their fridge while they are away luckily prevented a full on family civil war and normal family annoyances once again prevailed. Cant wait until next year

Bring it on Firey! Oh and stereo, did you get the new one that just came out that has the wireless or the slightly older model? I bought myself and the missus one each of the older one to take on our trip overseas, best thing i could have done, sure it was at runout prices ($128ea for a basic kobo, but the leather case pushed that to $160ea) and old stock, but it was still an awesome bit of kit. Also may i suggest you download calibre (
http://calibre-ebook.com/download ) for ebook management, especially if you don't buy ebooks via borders (either "obtaining" them or downloading them legitimately from
http://e-library.net/ for project Gutenberg releases or
http://stores.ebookezy.com/StoreFront.bok for cheap ebooks, which is where we got a few of our books nice & cheaply)

They didnt have the old one anymore, so I got the new one... Already running calibre to optimise the books, also Kobofix helps (
http://goodereader.com/forum/showthread ... roblems%29) it clears up problems with CSS issues. I have so far obtained 4 thousand books plus sundry...

Very handy, cheers.
4k books, jesus that'll take a long time to optimise content.
I've got a lot more than that, but only about 300 on my Kobo (deliberately though).
Bring on the firmware update beyond 1.4, i hear it's a hell of an improvement, especially on the old (my) Kobo.
