Oh yeah... the "it's better that you are all equally miserable than to have some of you happier than others" school of parenting. I think that my folks did that too. I'd like to think that I turned out better for it. Maybe that is why I don't go home for Christmas 0X |

That is ridiculous!!! 8O
Your Parents need to learn about individual responsibility and punish those who abuse it. By preventing you from having the WiFi network they are punishing you too for the mis-deeds of your sibblings - how can that be classed as fair!
The previous suggestion of encrypting the network and not giving your sibblings the code is an excellent way to force the issue. Each time they start abusing the system, the code gets changed and they have to earn the right to be given the new code - the use of punishment and reward would work. I have done it myself in the past to my own sons, who are now 29 and 24! If I were you I'd discuss this with your parents again!

I got to take the dog for a nice walk in the untouched snow. And some other stuff: some of it nice, some it useful, some of it not much of either. But I liked that first thing best.

PDA related: Sierra Bluetooth keyboard! Yeah! And a second 2GB MiniSD for movie playing! Oh YEAH!
Non PDA Related: pico z remote controlled helicopter (lots o fun, highly recommended), book on wines, shoes, shirt, knife, and a couple of Star Wars figures. Yep, I'm a geek-nerd-dork. Happy Holidays!

A 13-pc cooking set from Mom! I guess she heard me talking about being a Food Network addict ;-)
Oh, I did buy myself a car a couple of weeks ago ;-) I'd been wanting a Saab for 20 years (to the year AND month), and I finally got one. :clap: It kinda feels like going back in time and making out with that person you had a major crush on back in school.... :lol:

Santa stopped by our office and surprised everyone, but Kevin was quick enough to get a picture with one of his dozen or so handhelds, and put it up at:

You're kidding, right? It's actually a decent package, even more so with the latest firmware and software updates.
And no, I'm not one-sided in my assessment (I have an iPod and a Zune).  |

I got a Sony PSP, however due to a dyslexic at Amazon, it hasn't arrived yet 
My in-laws gave my wife and I a very nice globe to put in our gameroom / office / study / everything room. I just unwrapped it while the Misses is working this morning, so when she arrives home, she'll be able to enjoy looking at it.
for about 3 seconds...
before she goes into a mad cleaning frenzy (I'm in one myself as well). Our annual New Years party is fast approaching, and the house needs to get itself into shape!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and a prosperous 2007 for everyone!
