I got a 1gig iPod Shuffle that I wasn’t even expecting.
After fending off those Ipod fans for years, someone finally broke though my defenses and got me a 2gig nano. /sigh I’m now part of your cult.
One of us, one of us …
lol
I am with you dude. I also tried for years to fend off the evil empire that is Apple but alas they have won me over with a red 8 Gb Nano. That with the running kit, now I am an iPod junky!! =(
i got a ipod nano. schweet.
I got a 30 gb ipod
I got a shuffle and a $25 iTunes gift card
Yo. 80GB black iPod, to replace my old 3rd-gen 40GB model. Mostly because the ear-buds were breaking, and so that I can use the old firewire 40GB model as an extra hard drive. :)
Good on you!
i wish i got a mac for Christx, i did however had a 1 in 40 chance in getting a wii, that didn’t work out either
I got an iPod Nano 2GB - which is perfect for me. I don’t need too much music, especially since I try to use it for running, etc.
I got a 4GB ipod nano. Its silver… i like silver. I checked my music folder and i found that i don’t even have more than 4GB of music! Quick i need more! iTunes is really hard for me to get through. it seems very confusing….
If you have any questions about the ipod or itunes, feel free to email me or check out the AG forum.
When are they going to come out with blue 8 gig ipod nanos?
Perhaps you should get music from other sources. I have to say, I’ve never used the iTunes store for anything other than Podcasts, and I still have around 5000 songs (and thats not counting my podcasts, fear for my poor hard drive.). There are many places where you can get free music - I recommend downloading some of the Depthcore Albums. They come with great music, and brilliant art.
I would suggest opening up iTunes and popping your cds in. copy them, transfer the music over to your iPod and if you don’t want the music on your computer, delete it. It’s still on your iPod and you don’t ever have to lug around any more cds. it’s great also if you have a car stereo that has an auxilary jack or the pre-built iPod connection.
I got a gift card for my dad so he can get an iPod, but I didn’t get one my self (I already have a Mac and an iPod :D)
I got the 80gb black video iPod. very cool, i wasnt expecting an iPod, since i jokingly said id take my brothers broken one.
We got my Mom a Mac for XMas. She seems happy with it so far.
She will love it.
I’m just curious, but what model did you get her?
My bro got an iPod and my girlfriend got an iPod.
I’ve got one already… but I got a giftcard for iTunes that I couldn’t redeem…
Was the iTunes store not working for anyone else this christmas?
Oh and I got a renewal for my .mac account. ^_^ Yaaaaaay!
The heard the store was down, but I forget the reason.
Because of all the people who received apple products for xmas - thats why the store was slow. I forget the actual figure, but it was something like 75000 people. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I just got my first mac, a black macbook. I love it.
I got my father a G5.
ipod for the win ^^
Well, I got nothing Mac related, but my younger brother got a 2gig Nano, and one of my friends mothers got a brand new MacBook. I’m really jealous of her :B .
I got a 15″ Macbook Pro, to replace my old iBook G4 that was slowly succumbing to college life.
I gave my sisters iPod nanos back in October. XD
I got an iPod nano XD OMFG
I get money for an ipod for christmas (white 30gb). And i get an icq virus one day after chrsitmas. Maybe a mac would help…
Got my sister a 4gb ipod nano.
And I counted my Mac pro that I got in november as my christmas present to myself ;)
I got a blue iPod Nano, which I’m going to exchange/trade for a green one.
I was suppose to get an iPod….however…..apparently Santa hates me. ;_;
i got a 3 year old mac book 400 bucks (good quality no scratches a;; disks and accesorys) plus extra ram and space ^^
I got a 30GB iPod to replace my 20GB which died on me a few months ago. :o
I got a MacBook to replace my old ibook G4 =)
80 gig Black iPod…. Pure awesome.. Now to find 80gig worth of music and video ¬_¬
hehe yeah. i got a 80 gig video iPod a while back and I’m still having a hard time filling it up.
How can you people struggle to fill it up? I got a 30g one, and it took me a week to fill it up… am I that sad? -_- weep.
I got a black 30GB iPod Video. ^_^ It’s awesome. *pets iPod*
my ipod died on on christmas….. it’s last gasp… has been gasped. anyone got an extra one now that they got a new one? no? thought I’d ask….
I got my wife a MacBook, does that count? No more PC for her!
yup!
I got a shiny new white MacBook for Christmas and I’m so glad! It’s my baby….
I got an iPod Shuffle, I purchased one for my wife, and I had bought her a 20″ iMac about a month ago so she can work on her portfolio (both longtime PC sufferers).
Xmas is coming late for me, but it will include a new 15″ Macbook Pro! I’ve been waiting to be untethered from my desk for 2 years and now it’s finally going to happen.
Bought the wife a black refurb MacBook 2.0 GHz Intel CD (alas, not C2D) to replace her aging 400 MHz TiBook. She’s still discovering teh new hotness of it.
i got my hubby a 30 gig video ipod. he loves it.
I got an iPod Shuffle! Most technologically advanced Christmas ever!
15″ Macbook Pro, 2.33Ghz, 3GB memory. >.> I somehow swindled my way into getting this even though I still have a perfectly good 15″ Powerbook G4… but I must have the super-speediness of CS3!
Well, it’s not a brand new Mac, but it’s certainly good enough. My brother got a laptop for college a while ago, so I’ve been using the desktop he left home. For Christmas, he gave me a card saying it was all mine. Needless to say this made me SQUEE. It’s a 20in iMac with 2 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 2 GB of memory… losta goodness. Plus all of the games and everything that’s been on it for the past year or so that we’ve had it. *hearts*
Is this what heaven looks like?
yup and it will get better next year.
I got new earbuds and an iTunes giftcard, but not the iPod that I wanted. :{
The woman got me an 80 gig Black IPod video. ^_^
I didn’t get one, but my brother was sure showing off all the videos he had downloaded to his ipod all weekend. But, no ipod for me yet, although, my bro did hook me up with a 2gig memory stick for my PSP, so it kind of doubles as a ipod nano now, which is nice.
I got a shiny new 24″ iMac and I’ve been running around screaming in joy for the last 2 days now ^_^
In between playing with it ofcourse.
I got a 4GB nano after my old mini was stolen last year, also my siblings and I bought my folks 1GB shuffles.
I got a 4GB nano too and I love love love it!^^
my brother told me on Christmas that he might like an iPod. He’s got lousy timing.
I got an 80 GB ipod, gf got an itunes card, sister got a printer from the mac store (albeit canon, but it was bought at an apple store)
well I’ve always loved mac os but I’m a pc gamer so I have to stay with windows.
Thankfully I was blessed with a 2gig ipod nano this Christmas so now I finally have a mac toy to play around with. :)
Totally love it. ipods rock.
Long time reader, first-time commentator. I got a 2GB iPod shuffle for christmas, but that as well as my new 1GB Lexar JumpDrive seem to freeze up my computer upon plugging them in, but my Canon PowerShot A520 and my old 64MB nexXtech MP3 player, however, does work.
I got told I could spend 3 grand on a macbook of some sort so I am looking into a nice 15 inch macbook pro ^^ any suggestions are appreciated :D
i bought my folks a 4gb ipod nano for christmas. they are buying me a macbook this week for a christmas present. i would have gotten it before christmas but the store was out of stock on the model i wanted.
i got my macbook last night. haven’t named it yet. any suggestions?
No Apple goodness this year, but my wife and I, totally without discussing it in advance, got iPods for each other last Christmas: she got me a 60gig black one, and I got her a white 4gig Nano (which she replaced a few months later with a 60gig full size).
And I’m currently about 2/3 of the way to saving the $3k+ I need for a new Mac Pro. I figure by the end of January, maybe February, I’ll have it all. Then my fall to the Mac Side shall be complete. I’ve never been overfond of Windows, but I like my games (even if I’m not hardcore), so I’ve always stayed away from owning one. That, and they do cost a good deal more. But now that Intel cores and BootCamp has come along, I have no reason to avoid it any longer. I’ll just keep XP on there for the handful of things I actually would need it for, and the rest of the time stick with OSX. Sadly, I’ll still be on Windows at work, and when I use my TabletPC (Apple doesn’t make one, so I couldn’t get one if I wanted to :-( Still waiting for that prototype touch-screen tech that was released a while back to make it into a product of theirs).
I bought my husband a 4 GB Product RED iPod nano… I wanted to save the world by buying an Apple product. :-)
Got a blue IPod Nano with the Nike Sport attachment for my workouts.
That’s the best part of having my dad work for the Mac Store. *grin*
Hahaha.
I had iPod on my list, but I got a Zune. It’s working just as fine, though.
well i didnt get one for Christmas but i get to pick out whatever mac i want for graduation. im so excited ^_^
If spending all the money I got on christmas for a Macbook pro the day after christmas, than I got a mac :)
I got a flash drive mp3 player because my cousin walked into the apple store and picked a fight with the clerk. He thought you had to buy the charger separate, and got pissed off.
No worries though. I have gift cards that can be used for Ipods. :D
I didn’t get a macbook pro like I want but I did get parts for my Linux based DVR. :-) That’s how you fill up a 80g ipod btw :-D Also how you fill up a 500gb harddrive.
I got an Black 80GB iPod Video Still trying to fill it up.
Well I finally got it filled up
Got ot love the ability to have the Godfather parts 1, 2, and 3, Full Metal Jacket, and the complete Neo Genesis Evanglion Serries, along with all my favorite, music(AC/DC, DevilDriver, Mastadon, Megadeath, and Orange Range), at my finger tips.
Its enough to make me wanna cry.
I got a black 80GB iPod and I got my dad a Shuffle.
I didn’t get one this year :-(, but I did get a Nano for both of my parents, as well as chipping in to get my college student of a brother a MacBook. He’s really happy with it.
I got a new 20″ iMac for Christmas. Upgraded from the stock model to the 2.33GHz processor, Radeon X1600, and two wonderfully delicious gigs of 667 DDR2 SDRAM. mmm…
Grandma sent money; wife and I translated it into a new MacBook Pro to replace our ailing G3 iBook. That counts, no?
black 30 gig! +giftcards which will soon be movies/games
I got a 30 gig ipod. I love it so=)
I got a 2 gig nano, and am now wondering where I can place the apple stickers that came with it in a way that will most upset my PC whore friends and classmates.
I got a 30 GB iPod, recently bought a 20″ iMac too :D
8 gig black iPod nano. I’m an iPod virgin, so this is a big deal for me. Unfortunately, I have yet to be able to fill it up with tunes because iTunes was busted last night! I can’t wait to get home…
Gave the wife an 8GB Red Nano which I got with an Apple employee discount :). New job will be getting me a new 15″ MacBookPro sometime between now and the epiphany (12th day of xmas). That counts in my book.
someone else who celebrates Three Kings Day :)
I got a macbook, I plan on putting bootcamp on it but just so I can use certain PC apps. Mac’s OS is better on my eyes though and it will dominate the macbook!
I recommend Parallels if you want to use certain PC apps.
http://www.parallels.com/en/download/desktop/
as much as I would like that. the prog I would use requires full use of the processor… (i.e. - no emulation)
does it count if i bought myself an iBook last year? i plan on getting an iPod with the rest of my left over christmas money
i got an iPod Shuffle for Christmas
I got a $25 gift certificate and a 4 gig nano (Just a week after my 2nd generation iPod died, I miss that thing).
My little sister got a Shuffle.
I didn’t get anything mac-related, but I gave a friend of mine my long-dead 1G iPod and an Apple gift card. She’s interested in getting an iPod for herself, so she can use my old one for 10% off.
BTW, I love the slogan I saw on an employee’s shirt in the Apple store this weekend: “For PC users, it’s not a gift - it’s an intervention.”
I will be getting myself Stubbs the Zombie this week. Does that count?
lol love that quote.
….I got a 30 gig Video iPod, named sciPod, for by birthday a month ago and speakers for it for Christmas. Does that count?
Mac? Ew, not me:P(windoze user)
Got a WoW. Been wanting to try that out for some time now. If anyone’s playing on Emerald Dream, I’m Taurenstopa , Tauren druid.
……. you sound…lonely.
Roll on Anvilmar. Tauren Druid. Look for Wailin troll Shaman. :D
I play on Emerald Dream….
and I play WoW on my mac.
ITS BLASPHEMY I TELL YOUUUU!
Actually, WoW loosens me up to create tattoo designs all day ha.
For the Whored.!
Got a new battery for my PowerBook G4 and an XtremeMac Micro Memo for my iPod.
To answer your (Hawk) question…kind of.
Got a 8g iPod nano Product(RED) to replace my iPod mini.
Love it! Especially the size.
yeah i didn’t get a mac… but i got something that will be working with whatever mac i get in the future! i got 200 bucks cash towards the last home stretch in saving for a tablet.. im getting a 9×12 intuos3!! yeah.. now i need a mac to use it with!! anybody got an old one they would spare! (never kills to ask!
I got an i-pod nano
didn’t get an ipod or mac, but I bought my mum an 8 gig nano.
I’m using my Christmas money to upgrade my desktop from a G3 to a G4 or G5 (Whichever I can afford) so that I can finally upgrade to OSX. Does that count?
sure.
my mother got me a iPod then my grandmother got me another iPod and i just got a package from my grandfather from england and he bought me another iPod so now i have three iPods this is sooooo cool XD!! i was actually hoping someone would get me a Mac but oh well…
damn.

Feel like donating an ipod to my charity? ie my empty pockets?
i am just seperating my music my genre it is a whole lt easier this way…hehehehe…. i am starting to figure out how to work this iTunes…and i realized that i still have more music than iPods
I got a 4gb silver ipod nano. And Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 for my Dual G5. Hoping to upgrade to CS3 when that’s released.
I messed with CS 3 beta for a bit. They changed the interface, but in a good way I think. Photoshop boots a lot faster as well.
