Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus...and she let me buy my Hakko 936ESD Soldering Iron! Woohoo! Better than a Red-Rider BB Gun!
I'm sure for some folks, dropping $85 on a soldering iron seems like a cheap price. Seeing as your games may cost you $500-$1500 apiece. But, for us, we really had to justify it. Me, for a hopeful lifetime of use on cheap boards and my games (max price paid was $125 on my 25" Candy Cab). Jenny, for me to consider it my Christmas present, since it's about my hobby/fun, and not a "real" expense.
Bob Roberts cap kits, here I come.
The full video... My boy does the unpack. We played Karate Chop with that paper, me and the kids, for 30 minutes after that. It was awesome fun. All we were left with were karate chopped, kicked, and head butt-ed squares of 4 inch paper everywhere.
The stills... My son getting out the paper...
My Son trying to life out the 936.
"Alright, Dad, let's plug this bad-boy in!"
Did I mention they're on sale at Kiesub! Cheapest on the net. $69.95 plus ~$12 shipping.
And finally, My girl decorating the box it came in. (This was pre-karate time.)
Hell, I haven't even really plugged it in yet, and I already got a whole night of fun out of it. A Merry Christmas indeed. Thanks, hon!

Recently I installed Project Eris on a mini Playstation Classic I'd bought from Best Buy for $25 when they cleared them out a long time...
