And What Did You Get Your Wife For Christmas?

There is a scene in the old TV series "Home Improvement" where Jill asks Tim to build a home office for her in the attic. Tim replies with an evil grin "Don't tease me unless you really mean it. Arh, arh, arh."

Such was the case when my wife asked for a TV for Christmas. She just wanted something to watch when I'm watching a football game or a shoot 'em up in the den and our son is playing video games in the living room.

Of course we couldn't JUST get a TV. She needed a satellite receiver to get her favorite channels, a dvd player to watch chick flicks and view the Kodak picture disks. And of course a VCR to watch our old videos. It had to be simple and easy to use. Decent TV picture around 27", but no home theater. (Fresh memories of our son's system in the living room.) The stand needed to blend in well with our Cherry wood bedroom furniture. And it had to come in at $500 or less. (Aw c'mon honey, I have interconnects that cost more than that. Oops...)

Before I tell you what I did, you tell me. What would you have done? :o)

And a Merry Christmas to all!

Ucmgr, maybe you should get the ice maker -- a very special unit you can use to cyro your cables (and make ice, of course) ;-)

I'm still sorting out what to get. A nice slide for the necklace, some earings and some new music sounds like a plan!

Kinsekd, shouldn't it be "What did you get your partner for Christmas"? There are some awesome women out there who are every bit as crazy as we are. I suspect their husbands have to put up with a lot too. Plus, not everyone is married. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite everyone to participate in this very timely thread.
