A Christmas Accounting

Here is what I got for Christmas.
From Other People
Here are the things I got from other people for Christmas:
- From my sister: A $25 gift certificate to amazon.com. This is an excellent gift. I have credited the $25 to my account and will, the next time I make an amazon.com purchase, use that credit. I make, on average, an amazon.com purchase every four days.
- From my father: A $25 gift certificate to Cabelas. This is also an excellent gift, because now I know exactly what to get my father for Father’s Day. Which is to say, I will send this card back to my father on Father’s day. He will like it a lot.
- From my company: A $250 bonus, of which $180 was direct deposited into my checking account.
Apparently, my company — which I have not quit, thanks for asking — likes me five times as much as my family.
From Myself
Here is what I got myself for Christmas:
- Mac Pro (Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon)
- Both Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and AirPort Extreme
- Two 16x SuperDrives
- 750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
- Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse
- 8GB Memory
- 750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
- 4 x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB
- 2 30″ Apple Cinema Displays
This cost me a little more than $11,500.00, and should be arriving before the end of the year. I suppose you could say my credit card took quite a hit.
Also, you could say I like myself 230 times more than my family does.
Isolation score: 4
So, did you give anything for Christmas, or was it more about the gettin’?
He’s a super-geek, super-geek; super-geeky.
I got a box of stale crackers (yes really) and calendar from my family.
So I did what you did and ordered myself a new computer- though nowhere near as nice as the one your getting. I wouldn’t know what to do with four graphics cards..
Glad you didn’t quit the job. The last thing you need is the added stress of being temporarily unemployed.
11.5k for a computer? That is insane.
What do plan to store that you’ll need 750G?
I am still a non-believer Harlen. I think 11.5K for a computer is ridiculous. I’d be taking that money and buying a bike, or something cool like that.
Nice computer… what the hell you gonna do with all that power? Play WoW?
are you planning to bring down skynet with all that computing power……..
Man, I bet you can hold a lot of child porn with that thing.
Lyle, man you are one sick puppy.
I got a ceramic patio pig.
You know what I got for Christmas? Nothing. I didn’t get anything. Oh wait… one Christmas card. Other than that, not even a telephone call.
What’s the isolation score for that?
