NOTE: If you are thinking about getting me something I didn't list, please check with me or my parents. I have more books than my Dad...a lot of games...a lot of videos/dvds...etc. Not that you would ever find out if you got me something I already have...but hey. :)

NOTE 2: Since this is going out to multiple people...it would be really cool if everyone could "coordinate" with each other. I know...I'm really hoping for the impossible...but if you decide to get me something (see I can be realistic!), then send e-mail to "lfp@viviano.net" and let her know what you got me...then she (my Mom in case you are wondering) can cross that off the list. It would be best to "reserve" my present before buying...okay, so now I'm getting silly.

NOTE 3: The reason for NOTE 2 is primarily in pay back for the pestering I always receive from my parents for getting them a wish list. I figure if I have to go to the trouble of telling people what to buy me, they can at least do me the service of making sure I don't get duplicates... right? Now I'll probably receive twenty identical lumps of coal, eh?

A NOTE ON ORDER: There is no real order to this list of stuff. I really like it all. It's all practical (at least to my warped sense of reality), so Dad can't say I don't have anything "usable" on here...I mean I asked for bookshelves...geez.

This year I went straight for the list instead of categorizing. Have fun!

• DVD (_NOT_ DIVX) Movies. This section is huge. Not because I only want DVDs, but because I want to provide a big selection, so you can get something you want me to have. Nonetheless, there are 1 or 2 (or three) which I would prize over most: Good Morning Vietnam, Merlin, and From the Earth to the Moon. All of these can be found and purchased on-line at http://www.dvdempire.com/. This place is reliable (can you guess I've ordered there before?) and they ship in 2-3 days. I left the categories as they appear on dvdempire.

• INFRA RED controlled power outlet. What the heck is this? Well you know how your VCR has a remote which can turn it on? I want a remote which can turn specific power plugs on. Why? Because it'd be really cool. I've been told Lowe's has something like this that works off of a Radio remote...while this would work, if an IR version can be found, that would be ideal.
• 128 megs of RAM for my computer (if interested, get in touch with Brad V)
• A really cool telescope. I've been getting more and more interested in this type of thing. I've even got catalogs. Since this is a pretty significantly complex item, I will give you the name Dan Pape to contact about it...he knows the kind of 'scope I'd want and has the catalogs and such.
