Actually, do your family computer guy a favor and skip this. If I
charges my relatives for this it would be cheaper for me to buy them a
new one, then join the party having fun. If the user has messed it up
with too much garbage, hit the recovery button after backing up your
data. Or buy a new one from Cosco for $499 that will probably be 10
times faster to start with.

Sort of like the mechanic principle. I you have a mechanic everyone
wants a free $400 tuneup while you and others enjoy the booze and
company.

For that reason, I tell relatives, buy a new one for your own present
and give them some ideal models. And not everyone needs a Mac or the
high priced models.

OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts
people spin
their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and
pottery
and beautiful wooden boxes.

And we don't need more Santa, I put my foot down this year when we tried
to count them and gave up at 150. 1/2 have never been used.

Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and
leave
your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or
ballet at
your hometown theatre.

Why? So someone else's whiny kid can scream all night in my ear?

Better, get some wine, not whine. A good prime rib roast you slow cook
all day. Give you a 2" cut for less than 1/8th the cost of going out
for some minuscule hag meat.

Oh, and put down the damned iPads and iPods, give everyone a deck of
cards and crib board with a card game book, yep paper. Or a chess
board. More social interaction that way.

As at the end of the day, Christmas as defined by retail stores are like
diamonds. Neither will keep your family together.

I think you should spend Christmas day watching the business channel -
with no sound or picture.

Have you forgotten the reason for the season? Doubt it. But I did have
to ask just to spark up ol Krausie and JPS.

Most of us with working brains just giggle at your posts and the posts
of your butt buddies here, Jackoff.-

If you had a working brain you'd read the headers and get a clue.

Hi Jack
The genius doesn't have a clue.
