    Default Dear Santa

    I've put my request in to Santa!

    What would you like?

    I've attached my file, and just below my request, you will see the panel on which you can write your request to Santa.
    I then grouped everything, including the almost transparent rectangle, positioned it over the card and then used the 'Mould Tool' to position the four corners over the card.

    So, let's see what you want for Christmas.

    Who knows?! Santa might see your wish and there might be a surprise on Christmas day!

    That's a stupendous drawing of the card and envelope, Rik. I wish you'd saved the vectors in the XAR file so I could examine your technique!

    Okay, that's not my real wish. I asked for this last year, and the year before, but I will patiently wait until I get an answer, and the answer is "yes."

    World Peace?
    Surely Santa is going to be too busy trying to build my Bose?!

    Here is my original .xar file for you and anyone else!
    Feel free to make any changes.
    The file is for anyone to use without any restrictions etc... etc... etc...

    Okay, Rik—

    To be honest, I was going to ask for a life-sized Christina Hendricks poster, but only if I then wanted to sleep on the sofa in the den for the next 5 months.

    World Peace was a distant second, but it sounded good.

    See, Rik? Everyone is asking for the intangible, except a certain someone who wants Bose speakers, crass, commercial, material, and not even the best speakers on the market!

    If money is no object, you ask from Klipsch. If all you play is Pink Floyd, you get JBLs. If you listen to pop or classical at less then 104 decibels at four feet, you get Altec Lansings.

    Just some educated advice from someone who spent a few years playing semi-pro in front of a wall of 800 watt Marshalls.

    What?
    Huh?
    Can you speak up?

    Surely if money was no object you'd ask for a pair of Martin Logans (but then again I always liked ESLs).

    I do enjoy my Klipschorns...bought 'em about 1972. They do enjoy being in a largish room though. An HK Citation V tube amp is the power source.

    Thanks, Rik. I'll have a play with the file. World Peas won't be on my drawing...

    Take care, Mike

    As far as I'm aware, the normal thing to do, at Christmas is to ask for 'tangible' things.
    At least that way, your wife/husband/partner/other half, has a chance of getting it for you?!
    Also, I'm looking for a sound system and not just a pair of speakers!
    I would hazard a guess that you could probably tell me which sound system I should look for?

    If there's one thing I know, and that's, that Pink Floyd would sound good on any type of speakers. No other group has that sort of quality!

    There' s one other thing I know and that's who to go to if I am looking for advice!

    I was also hoping that Luke would at least post his 'Dear Santa'?

    Thanks to all those who have posted their 'Dear Santa', so far.
