No, but thanks for confirming it :)...I just spent an hour and a half combing through old Hardforum msg's about that lappie, trying to find a name I could google or track down an address to match to the package. You have very carefully hidden yourself though, I remembered that the way I paid you was by paying someone else that you owed money too :(...but then again, I only knew of one person from CS?

Edit:

That and you posted how many days ago you sent it, which matched the postmark ;)

With the hippy avatar, I figure you might need it;)

EDIT:Actually you paid for the laptop by sending some of it to pay for one of my 2005 FPW's I think;)

lol...I'm not quite a hippy, except in spirit/personality. But I am quite shaggy at the moment. I work 3rd shift, and they really don't care too much about our grooming habits (our boss looks like Grizzly Adams, no kidding!), so I haven't shaved or touched a razor in probably a month and a half. This will come in very handy without a doubt :) ...TYVM for the awesome present!

Edit:

I found the Paypal payments I made, one for $200 to some guy with a message that it was for you, and the other to another guy without a message, tried Googling both of their names but no go :(...and you don't have your gmail account registered with Paypal, so it wouldn't pop up a name there either :p...for the first time in probably months, I wasn't able to find out any information on somebody, very frustrating.

Edit 2:

BTW this is what I got :)

Yes, yes I do.

I'm currently deciding what shape to shave my beard into. Or if I'm going to shave words into it or something. I'm not totally sure, but I have been awake for a solid 23 hours or so now, so I'm sure I'll come up with something imaginative.

:*(

I sold it to a guy at work. He was having a hard time, his parents both passed away within a few weeks of each other, he was looking for a good deal on one but couldn't afford much, so I let him have it at basically a steal price. Then the dink dropped it the first week he had it, and fuxed up the DVD drive in the docking bay. I offered to fix it for cost, but I have no idea where he's at with it now. Makes me very sad too, I liked that little lappy. I even upped the memory by 256MB, swapped out the HD for a bigger one, and was eyeing a DVD burner to go in it.

Mine came today. Kit with multi-connector retractable cables for laptop. Also, a great Far Side Xmas card. Thanks Johnny

Also, many thanks to AMDSkip & MartyMcFly3, organizing us must be like herding cats.

Still waiting, and still need to email the DC# to Marty and Skip. I'm gonna laugh if my gift gets to the person before I remember to bring in the DC# and email it to them.

Received my secret santa gift a few weeks ago ( a set of Adam Sandler movies). Unfortunately my girls got a hold of the package and I was unable to see who my SS was, but thanks anyway! :)

I received a package from Justin Limon ( don't know handle) meant for a Tom in ATOT. Anyone here know who that is and could let them know I got the package by mistake? I have posted this in ATOT and FS forums. Don't know what else to do. I got someone's XMAS present and would love to get it to the right person. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks

I was hoping my SS would receive his gift today but I haven't seen him post saying he got it.. hopefully he either hasn't got around to posting yet or will get it tomorrow :(

still nothing from my SS, I guess that's what I get for waiting so long to mail out my gifts :p

My recipient need to get his package tomorrow and open it immediately. if they wait until XMas, it will all be a waste of time and money.
