Mike,

>So, dip into your geekiest of geeky desires, what do yo want from Santa this year? A home stereo that plays MP3s? A Portable DVD player? Or how about that PDA that you can also use a cell phone? Or maybe you just need some nice socks.

I do need socks and underwear. But, I'd also like a paid vacation -- haven't had one of those since I went independent 7 years ago. And, I really want to go to Hawaii in February for Rick and Markus' Double Impact (I've heard all the sessions, but need a good reason to get back to Hawaii after being gone since '88).

I think the most likely outcome is the socks and underwear. :-)
