I don't see the real problem about what you didn't get for christmas, just be thoughtful and stuff, but if you need to get a router, get a wireless network or something, they're generally easy after they're set up and stuff, if I wanted a network, I would use wireless definitely, with the technology we have now-a-days, there isn't much lag in these wireless network things... It would be my choice for a network anyday, I'll ask James about them for you
