2004 is much much better than 2003, and pretty much the same requirements.
Either go for UT or UT2004.

I got this today from my Mom and some tools to replace the ones stolen out of my car trunk two weeks ago.

Check out this sweet metric socket wrench set I got.



Oh, and I will be spending New Year's Eve in the English country-side with the woman I have been dating on and off the past three months. I hope to pop over to Ireland for a day or two on this trip to visit friends in Cork. We'll see how that works out.
(Anyone know if Ryanair has cheap flights between London and Cork or is it just Dublin and Shannon?)

Yeah, I know about Behringer. Thanks though! I've been looking for a mixer for some light production work with some friends for longer than I care to think about.

While I'm at it...I won't be getting it this Xmas, but maybe someday. A Dell 24"

cjrivera, you have great taste in sound, but not that many people have that kinda money. Thats why Sony has more sales than Yamaha or Rotel, but doesn't make nearley as much money.

As for me:

I know it's a little bit late, but I just got a new drumset too, so it was worth the wait.

Oh, and one of those santa ties.

That's the problem; I have a lot of difficulty in thinking of stuff for myself.

But I do want this:

I have the three earlier volumes already...not that I have much time to watch them. And considering that a Looney Toon is only seven minutes long, that's saying something!

That one right there can be bought for $350 on amazon. I think thats the best size, not to big and not too small. No matter what you get, go with wacom.

From the parents:

(Athena B2.2 speakers... currently have a pair of Athena B1.1s which will become surround speakers. Nice little setup.)

From myself:


Speakers will come some time soon. Already got the XBox (last night, actually). Enjoying it quite a bit so far.

Thanks, PowerPc = Pwnage.

Actually, it will be used to finish off the family's real Christmas present (and next year's present, and birthday presents for the next 10-20 years), which is the finishing off of our basement with a HT. Rotel is a little higher priced than some of the higher volume brands, like Sony, but the sound is a bigger stepup. However, it does give pretty good bang for the buck, especially when compared with some of the high end stuff like Classe, Krell, Lexicon, etc. For me the benefit in sound quality with the higher end stuff just isn't enough for me to justify spending that much more money. Especially, since this is for a HT setup, and not a pure music room. Maybe someday, I'll take the plunge and start upgrading, but that wil be a long, long, long, long ways off.

It's rare, but Spliffdaddy and I can actually agree on something.
"…I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than
you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods,
you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F. Roberts

yeah well. Let me know if you get one. There's a possibility that I've been a bad boy this year, but I was careful to hide my antics from Santa.

I mean, damn, I *could* be good all year if there was any sort of guarantee.

I think there is an instructional video on their site. Kinda scary. I htink it's dishwasher safe though. ;-)

P.S. I'm glad you all got my joke. I was worried that perhaps I'd get in trouble for posting that pic.
