| But the geeks were restless and yes, even sad. They didn't want
| Elmo, a scooter, or some such fad. "Give us RAM, dual cores, and
| an iPod," they said. "Or we'd be quite happy with Bill Gates's
| head." Why old Saint Nick couldn't believe his ears, as geeks are
| quite friendly the rest of the year. Lucky for Santa, he read Linux
| Mag, and he stuffed gadgets and gizmos into his bag.

| can't post the plans, schematics and source code either.
