Evening from WA Timothy,

The particular helpers for Santa in my neck of the woods have already completed their shopping.

:-)

Yes, it was a bit last minute... still, a great present for me after several years of work and a year or more of waiting!

An additional issue is that one does not have a computer while the other has me do the buying of items from Barnes & Noble or other online purchases.

My wife doesn't think it's 'real' because you can't get it on Amazon. In fact her first comment was "will anyone care?" So thank you for showing an interest. (My Dad made more of an effort to work out what is what about!)

My gift purchases have as usual gone over budget, but then it is Christmas.

Fair enough!

A couple of other folk have said it's 'on their' list when funds allow.

Have a good Christmas and new year.

Cheers - you too.
