Not sure why you mention 'they all use aim'. To use iChat and iChatAV you need to be on the AIM system, with a .Mac username or a AIM username.

iPod photo (likely Xmas gift from the s/o).
Bluetooth keyboard.
Underwater case for my Canon.
And a new phone, since I get to upgrade to a new model every December as part of my carrier plan.

My sis is going to get me a silver iPod mini and I'm getting her a pink mini. I treated myself to a 20" cinema display since no one in my family would spend $1300 on me anyways.

Hmmm, I'm thinking:

apple stuff:
-Office X 2004 (Student Edition)
-iPod socks (This is going to be a huge seller for Apple this holiday season)

non apple stuff:
-digital camera (probably a 5MP Nikon Coolpix 5200)
-new Toshiba 14" flat screen TV
-new slim PS2
-FF 1&2 for GBA

Gotta love the holidays

A Radeon 9800 Pro which works in my MDD G4. I don't want to buy it myself, too expensive for what it is, but I'll take it as a present with open arms.
