    Lol, computers are always being released, there's not really a set date. You buy early, you miss out. You buy late, you don't have a computer. Go figure.

    Yes, that is the politically correct version, but ask any retailer what THEY call the season. Not what they put on their PC ads or signs, what they CALL it.

    ...big ol' grin...

    what they call it is subjective to who you ask

    Holiday actually means Holy-day so that might be offensive too...
    Let's just call Dec 25th the Winter Celebration. That would be in line with many schools who call the space of time between fall and spring semesters Winter Break.
