Years of working in retail ruined the winter festivities for me, it's just a commercial mess now, with the stores fully decorated by September, and the sales staring late November because all the tat the stores bought in isn't selling, and they need some cash in the tills so they can pay for Easter Eggs to be delivered Boxing Day.

Anyway, I voted for Tablet, as I hope Santa has a spare Nexus 7 for someone who's been a good boy all year...

I voted for no gifts, I am in the fortunate position of having pretty much everything (in a material sense) that I could want, and If there is something I do need I buy it at the time I need it.

The winter festivities are really a time for children and as mine have grown up and left home, their company is all I desire. I take it now as a time to relax, see family and spend time with those people who I only seem to see at this time of the year.

"No gifts" denies someone the pleasure of giving a gift to you. It doesn't have to be large but the thought behind a gift can mean a lot.

I think that the questionnaire should have had the option "No gadgets".

I request that my family do not buy me presents but I am absolutely delighted when they ignore me.

I will agree with Fruit Bat /\0/\'s remarks.

There is stuff I would like, but nothing I need.

If I needed it, I would have bought it myself before this time of year.

A card from someone with no or very little money means as much to me as a present from elsewhere.

You know that they are thinking about you and that's all that we need.

Mind you anyone that could give me a present to make me 50 years younger would be my friend forever.

An OS, which is legacy-proof software and driver-wise on things like printers back to Win98, If there is a 16-bit version, you can use 8-bit drivers (because some mfrs don't produce 8-bit versions) Also, the 8-bit version of the OS should be able to access as much memory as a 16-bit machine does.

Not too much to ask, is it?
