Hi Fernando !

Your Xmas list is awesome!  :))   I have some similar thoughts myself ....

I'm torn in between though in some ways ..... to get all the newest upgrades of
these great programs sure sounds good .....  but if we upgraded our CPU's by

It's a tough Xmas decision, new programs or just a FASTER CPU ?  :))
