[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3058579, member: 9374"] Also, what are you planning to get for your family members? I know for my wife, I need to get her a tablet and a phone. She mentioned a Google Pixel 2. Which is like... $800+??? She would actually kill me if I spent that on a phone for her, she absolutely HAD to have been kidding. I mean, if you knew my wife, there is NO way she would want to spend that on a phone for herself. And her tablet is a hand-me-down from my kid from like 4 years ago, I think. It got wet and stopped working, so we got him a new one, then she randomly tried to power it on one day a couple years back and it fired up. But it's been temperamental and spotty, and I think it finally gave up the ghost. Mine is actually much older than that, but it is still working ok, so no need at the moment. So I'm open to some nice Android phones if ya'll have one you don't want! lol For The Boy, I think I'ma get him a decent entry-level quad-copter, maybe with a camera, he's finally getting a phone - he's been asking for a couple years now, and he's 12½, so I think we can finally give in. I'm going to give him my old S5 for now, not going to spend anything on his first phone. He'll be on StraightTalk, as well, so he'll have to learn to limit his data usage. We've talked about getting him a new tablet, as well, since I've repaired his 3 times now. <sigh> Not from his irresponsibility, once was a battery, once when a friend grabbed it away and dropped it, breaking the screen, and once to replace a part I screwed up repairing the screen. :clap3: Yay me. lol Oh, and I think I'm going to get him a kit to build a Raspberry Pi 3, and also a Youth Digital modding suite to help him get more into computer stuff. He needs some stimulation, school is boring as f*** for him these days. I know we are fortunate to be able to do any decent Christmas at all... truly fortunate. And like I said, we have also set back a substantial amount to give to others this year. I am so glad and grateful that we are able to do so. :D So... what other plans do you guys have? [/QUOTE]
