I got nothing. The happiest thing I got was the Judge lifting the no contact order barring us to see our grandson yesterday. Long story.

My wife surprised me with a Blu-Ray player.

I got her a nice pair of Nikon Binoculars. We live right next door to a huge park and nature center and they will be great during our walks.

I got a gift certificate to WalMart, which I bought my happy new HP multimedia computer keyboard. Love the volume control buttons on the keyboard.. that rocks!

I got a $25 dollar gift card to new egg.. probably going to get a external hard drive case.

I got the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie , I have not seen this yet.. it suppose to be a good flick.

I also got a very cool Star Wars hood sweatshirt that has all of the characters on it .. black silk-screened a dark brown / orange color fabic.. pretty cool.. I'll have to take a picture of it.. also a Yoda t-shirt from the same artist.

I did not get Windows 7.. which was a surprise seeing how one of my in-laws was going to buy it for me.. but whatever.. I'm very happy just to have some downtime with my family.

Merry Christmas. to everyone ! :)

You can adjust the back position. The mesh lets you kinda sink in to it a bit, feels softer than my old chair. Only been in it for maybe an hour at a time so far but its been very comfortable. I put the back in the forward position for doing stuff on the pc like photo editing and then adjust it back more for watching TV.
