Not a present as such (for reasons that will become obvious), but I got a new nVidia graphics processor in attempt to fix a BSOD issue with my gaming computer. Turns out the old GPU wasn't at fault after all (no, honestly... ) and will be available at a thread near you in due course, so I guess that will have to go down as my 'Christmas' spend for this year...

What's worse, the problem hasn't entirely gone away even now despite significant biting of bullets/going against better judgement/swallowing of pride/etc. and installing Win10 - not to mention extended (and ongoing) testing and troubleshooting the like of which I haven't done in years. :(

I've got welding tools from the wife for Christmas but I've a few more things in my watch list including a big bottle of gas which can't be posted so I might see if I can collect it while I'm off. We had a new car this year so that has wiped us out, jam sandwiches for Christmas at our house :)

Laughing gas?

Just ordered an Ashdown RM-500. If it works out ok I`ll probably defect from Aguilar to Ashdown as the sound seems to have a bit more oomph to it.

Well I like the RM, not used in a band practice yet but having used Ashdown gear before I know I`ll like it. So bagged myself an ABM 600 Evo IV today - new, for £499, a saving of £150 from the rrp.

Some cool gifts have been mentioned already. The C64 sounds great and I may get myself one of those Cthulu for younger readers books :)

I bought myself a Maschine Jam to compliment my Maschine mkII and Komplete Kontrol keyboard :D

I seem to have accidentally bought a Mac Mini server! How on earth did that happen?

Also I noticed today in my email that some chap is sending me a copy of logic Pro 9 ! Astounding - just what I wanted!
Maybe there IS a Santa after all.
:lol:

Anyway - Happy Xmas and prosperous new year to you all down here in the low country.

I ordered a Zoom Q2N video recorder on 13th December. Still hasn't turned up due to supply issues. I was hoping to record our NYE gig, but it looks like it won't happen....

I had one gift in total this year, an Ashdown Touring 220 I bought locally off a Gumtree vendor after leaving work on Christmas afternoon.
I should have wrapped it.
Happy Christmas to me.
