Thanks Tom...it's really a great light. I don't know how (or howe) you come up with these really great ideas every year. It's one of the very few surprises I have at Christmas, my wife says my reaction is always like a kid getting a surprise gift. Have a wonderful new year. |

|

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the micro table lamp. This is the 10th year I've been sending this stuff out. Does anyone still have all ten items?
As always, if you have ever purchased a CD-ROM Collector's Guide but did not get a lamp, email me your current address and I'll send you one.

Well Tom, This is the first year I've gotten a gift from you as I just bought the CED CD a few months ago. I've only been collecting since November 2011. I've been mostly trying to buy big lots on craigslist and wherever I can find them. I'm trying to get every disc in your database. So far I've only got about 600 to go, and I've got about 200 of those lined up already. I did a little research on the site into your question about weather anyone had all ten gifts just cause I was curious what they were. Here's what I came up with,
01. 2003
02. 2004 Plush Nipper
03. 2005 Magnifyer & Postcard
04. 2006 CED Blinkie
05. 2007 Light & Postcards
06. 2008 CED Tote Bag
07. 2009
08. 2010 Waterbottle
09. 2011 Voice Recording Tape Measure
10. 2012 Micro Table Light
I don't know what 2003 and 2009's gifts were. The rest I found from posts of people who received them and were thanking you Tom. They sound like some pretty cool gifts, thanks again for my light and have a great New Year. |

Josh:
Good research on the holiday items! This actually started in 2002 with a holiday postcard, but the first real item was this RGB light pen in 2003 celebrating the 50th anniversary of color television:

The 2009 item was a solar-panel-charged pocket lamp in a choice of six colors.

Cool Pen Tom, thanks for the info. I only wish I had known about CED sooner or I would have been here. I was shocked when I first discovered a record that plays video. It blew my mind and I am still a little dumbfounded about it and amazed at how good it actually works. They certainly did their homework on that one, too bad it never caught on. Well take care and thanks again for the light. |

|

I still have the LED pen I received from Tom (in 2001?). I rediscovered it last year and installed a fresh set of batteries. Unfortunately the pen itself has dried up or something because I can't write with it anymore. Has anyone any suggestions on how to rejuvenate this bad boy? |

I tried my old pen, and it did write again with the original cartridge after some scribbling. The light pen uses a standard D1 refill 66mm in length and 2.3mm in diameter. These are available at office supply stores and on eBay:

Tom, thanks also for the gift! I love what you come up with each year.
It would be cool if we could post pictures of the past gifts, just to reminisce. |

Don't feel too bad, I've never gotten one, even in the past years. Actually never really thought about it until this thread came up. |

I am very proud to say I have all of the gifts, Tom is very generous getting these gifts together each year. I'm curious Tom, How many are the MOST you have sent out in any given year? _________________ SGT-250
