Andy's 1999 Christmas List

In no particular order...

Items	Description
	Maybe after this Y2K business is over with. Freeplay Short Wave AM/FM Radio (FPR1) The Freeplay Radio produces 40 minutes of the highest quality broadcast sound from a simple 30 second wind via the flip out handle and internal generator.
	Maybe after this Y2K business is over with. Freeplay Lantern (FPSL) The Freeplay Lantern operates by the winding of a "flip out" handle which energizes the Freeplay generator to power the bulb directly, or store energy in the easily replacabe, rechargable battery that accepts multiple windings for extended continuous use.
	LEGO's are always a good buy! Contains everything you need to create thousands of unique inventions. The LEGO MINDSTORMS Robotic Invention System allows you to design and create real robots that do what you want them to. With the Robotics Invention System you can create everything from a light-sensitive intruder alarm to a robotic rover that can follow a trail, move around obstacles, and even duck into dark corners. They are even coming out with LEGO watches!!!
	Whatever was I thinking when I put these on the list?!?! I was concerned that I'd need a little more padding for my feet in my new boots, but I've since discovered that regular socks do fine. Ragg wool socks The more wool the better. Thick, long wearing comfy socks that'll keep my toes warm while I type under the glow of flourescent lights during the long winter (and spring, and summer, and fall, and winter again).
	UGH! One of these things will die so fast. They're cool, but a little impractical for a guy who can use so many other things a lot more. This unique, desktop mini-aquarium measures 5.25" in diameter. The original EcoSphere® is the world's first totally enclosed ecosystem - a complete, self-contained and self-sustaining miniature world encased in a glass sphere. Be wary of inferior and lower quality imitations. Easy to care for, an EcoSphere is an incredible learning tool that can provide powerful insights about life on our own planet and provide a glimpse of technology that's shaping the future of space exploration.
	Digital Spread Spectrum 900Mhz cordless telephone. Digital Spread Spectrum ensures privacy of communications between the handset and base unit so your neighbors can't eavesdrop.
	Bloom County comic books. They are, after all, the original hacker comics.
	Any and all things Muppet. Especially copies of the TV show!
	Fill up the old toolbox!
	Aerobie Toys. They're listed on this web site, honest! The hang glider is OK, the gyroscope is a must have! X-zyLo FLYING GYROSCOPE Rated World's Best Flying Toy! Amazing Flights Incredibly Thrown over 200 yards Hours Of Fun A totally extreme game of CATCH Fascinating flight technology X-zyLo Night Flight Glows in the Dark X-ZyLo Light is great for indoor use! ~~HANG GLIDER JACK Launches Sky High! Pops Open Into Hang Glider Soars Gracefully to the Ground Launcher Included, Ready to Fly!~~ Actually, the hang glider is pretty silly. The gyro thing rocks!
	Cross Townsend® Pencils Cross Townsend® 0.5mm Pencil Medalist® (Lustrous Chrome with 23 Karat Gold Plated Appointments) To match the pen that I have.
	Some books (hardcover, please; used is as good as new): Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card 1984 Some Asimov book or other And some thick, heavy objects or other to use as bookends. Other "classic" type books are good, too.
	The first real advance in mouse technology since the 1960s. With the technology in the IntelliMouse[tm] Explorer, the mouse finally catches up to the incredible advances of today's computers. The IntelliMouse Explorer replaces the mouse ball mechanics with a patented "IntelliEye[tm]" optical sensor. The sensor scans surfaces 1,500 times per second to track movement. Today's mouse - using the rubber ball that skips, sticks and needs to be taken apart and cleaned - will now be replaced by optical technology that offers pinpoint accuracy ... and the freedom to go "off road" without a mouse pad on many types of surfaces.
	Another guy I know has a one of these, he says it pretty much sucks. The other mouse, though, is nifty. Cool mice don't come along every day. It would be kinda cool to have one.
	Smallest Victorinox knife that has a corkscrew.
	Some LEVI blue jeans (or dungarees, if youwill)!!! 33x34 are the size for me. Relaxed fit style to make Mom happy. Button-fly is cool too.
Warner Bros. Stuff	Pepé Le Pew & Penelope Cookie Jar Category: Cookie Jars Animated greats for collectors - from Looney Tunes and the Cartoon Network. Hand-painted ceramic. Hand wash. 10?H x 8"W x 7"D. #H8351 Marvin the Martian, Bugs Bunny, and Wile E. Coyote are all safe bets.
www.computergear.com	There's gotta be some cool stuff you can find on this site that I'll like! :) here's one and here's another and another. Or just surprise me.
Another good site for COOL T-shirts!	I could also use some plain white undershirts, too.
