... is a 30-40 Gig hard drive connected to an MP3/OGG player so I can play my entire music collection in random (or some other chosen) order with a mini-jack output so I can plug it into my Bose at home, or my car stereo, etc. And, I can't see any reason a little gizmo like this should sell for over $100 US. Anybody seen such a thing? I sure haven't.

Absolutely nothing, at least materialistically that is.
I don't celebrate Christmas, it's more like a Winter Solstice and I get the day off work to spend with the kids and watch them play with the few gifts they get.

I work in the Electronics department at Walmart, and have for years - I can observe that others that come in to shop want, want, want! I've been ringing up sales for hundreds of dollars on computers, TV's, and God knows how many video games. I just hope I don't get trampled, too.
Having said that, *I* want one of those laptops in the case . . . remove Vista, install Slack - I'll be happy. After that, a big LCD TV and about 12 CD's.
And after *that,* I'd like the time to actually use this stuff. . .
I want to clear some space in my house by selling all this old, useless crap... So I can buy new, useless crap. On a more realistic note, I expect a bag of switches and/or coal.
How about a trip to Disney? Yep, save all that money we'd otherwise use to buy useless gifts and take everyone out to Disney? That's what I want for Christmas.
