My wife was kind enough to get me some great gifts. A massage/heating computer chair. This chair is great to use with my laptops but no so great for use at a desk as it sits pretty low and does not have adjustable height. No big deal, though. If I ever do wish to place it at my desk then I will have to build simple platform for it to sit upon.

She and family also got me some other great items of the common variety. Clothes, etc...

The big item, which I cannot claim as completely for me alone, has to be the new TV. It's a Mitsubishi 2004 Diamond Series 65" TV (model WS-65813). Very impressive TV per it's 9" guns (CRTs & lenses), IEEE 1394 seemless integration (component networking), built-in HD receiver, black high-gloss finish, and the anti-glare diamond shield really cuts down on viewing surface reflection. http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/2003_2004_ ... 65813.html
