Gift Ideas?
Let's face it, without your friendly neighborhood sysadmin, you wouldn't even be able see this page, or read or send email. He (or she) is the person who brings you gifts all year long, like a new desktop, or a new monitor, or that really nice new color printer. If they don't bring you gifts like these, it's usually not their fault.
Someone is preventing them from doing it! Sysadmins love to give out nice new shiny kit, because they know that (usually) new computers are much more reliable! So, what are you getting for your sysadmin this year? Remember, it's the thought that counts!
