Dear CNET members,
For those celebrating Thanksgiving, happy holidays! Whether or not you're celebrating this holiday, to me this time of year means to be thankful and grateful for all the wonderful people around me--from the past or present. I have a long list of people to thank and things to be grateful for, but I wanted to take this opportunity to especially thank you: the community. Week after week, you find the time to read, contribute, and assist others in need of help, and I'm truly blessed! So to the members of the CNET community and my incredible group of dedicated forum moderators, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
As I mentioned earlier this week, I will not be presenting the weekly newsletter Q&A. However, I did promise you some community discussion to nibble on through the holiday, so below you will find some of the most popular voted on and discussed polls from this past year. Get your votes in and discuss. I'll see you all next week when we help out Nancy with her MP3-player-buying decisions. Take care, folks, and be safe!
Oh and by the way, don't miss out on our annual Holiday Help Desk Marathon--where the CNET TV crew will be streaming live all day November 23 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT and answering your holiday tech shopping questions and giving away prizes, too! Please call us on the day of the show at 1-888-900-CNET with your questions or e-mail them in advance to holidayhelp@cnet.com. Don't miss out!

Check out next week's question:
I never thought in my wildest dreams, I would be considering a MP3 player for myself, but here I am asking for advice on one. Every where I go, I can't help but see ads for the iPods and I'm very curious if this is the right MP3 player for me. I don't want to buy an iPod just because it is the trend as I want to buy something that will last me in the long run. Is the iPod really that popular that it is a must buy? Forgive me, as I'm completely new to this type of gadget and I want something simple to use and has low learning curve. Can you suggest a MP3 player that will be small enough for me to carry when I go for my daily walks? I also would like something with a screen that will allow me to store pictures of my kids, and one that has enough storage space for my entire Beatles and Elvis CD collections. What are some things that are a must to look for in a MP3 player and of course what are things I should avoid or be aware of when I buy a MP3 player? Any advice and recommendation will be helpful. Thank you.
