I have several wishlists across the Web. However, in general I promote donations to worthwhile charities in lieu of purchases off these lists; suggestions include the National Park Foundation, Friends of the Evergreen Library, and the University of Washington Information School's iSchool Fund for Excellence or MSIM Beard Fundraiser Fund.
In cases where the wishlists below allow priority order specification, the order has been set accordingly.
In addition, the following are included on the list, but since Apple doesn't provide easy means of making them "wish list" items(!):
- 15" MacBook Pro
- 2.66GHz Intel Core i7
- 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
- 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
- SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
- MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display
- Backlit Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
- Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
- Accessory kit
