    BestBuy 100Pack Memorex 16X DVDR (+ & -) for $20.00

    $30 for me. I bought one because that's still a decent price. I would have gotten more for $20 though.

    Dont be stranded again begging someone to jump you in the middle of BFE.

    Do you leave the unit plugged into the cigarette lighter all the time to keep it charged? This could be a lifesaver for someone who can't get started out in the boonies at twenty below.

    MyHD MDP-130 With DVI Add-On Card

    Forgive me if this is posted elsewhere. I have the MDP-130. I've been recording TV shows and converting them to DVD, then watching them on my CRT HDTV. It's very, very time consuming. I'd rather feed from computer to TV and get it in HD rather than DVD format. The problem is that my TV has...

    Hennepin county (Minneapolis) is considering easing up their smoking ban.

    OP suggested a state-wide ban. That would solve the problem of people going elsewhere except near state borders. I wonder how many new customers the bars get after the ban. Lots of people stay away from bars because of the smoke.

    Success! You're right, the 20% code applied. $346 after taxes. That's a good price for this camera. Thanks, OP!

    15-25% off Digital Cameras and Camcorders

    The 25% off code doesn't work for me. I'm trying to get the Casio Exilim EX-Z750. No luck

    Download all nine of Beethoven's symphonies legit in mp3 format. #9 OUT NOW!!!

    Thanks, swarmster! I got all five. I'm listening to #4 now. Even listening carefully, I can't detect the distortion that classical music at 128 often gets during the complex parts. I encode my CDs with VBR between 128 and 256. The file size is a bit bigger than with 128 CBR but I never...

    Digital Camera Starter Kit $5.00 shipped @Newegg

    They've added 99c shipping now. Still, at $6, it's not a bad price. I have a little tripod that moves when I try to lock the angle. It's useless. I ordered this to try the flexible-leg tripod. Newegg has the same tripod or one like it for $3 + $3 shipping.

    MC - AMD Retail 2500 and Soyo K7VME MB $20 AR

    "No fee on the credit card. Buy the advertised matx soyo mb & celeron 2.8 for $130 and make $20 on the deal!" "The ad is nothing special, you can pick one up as you enter the store." Yes! I've been talked into AMD by a fanatic friend of mine and I've heard lots of bad things about Celeron...

    MC - AMD Retail 2500 and Soyo K7VME MB $20 AR

    Can I get in this deal without a "printed ad"? Is there an annual fee for the credit card? I'm in need of a cheap AMD mobo and processor to replace the ancient Pentium 3 in my secondary computer. This would fit the bill perfectly. There's a Micro Center about half an hour away from me...

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    Just ordered my second 100-pack. Burned a few from the first pack at 4X in my NEC 2500A. No problems at all. This is the best price I've seen yet for DVDRs without rebate.

    NEC 8x black dual format dvd recorder at Newegg...$98.50 shipped...today for $92 shipped!

    I've been using Nero 5.1.10.56 to burn DVDs. If it's the copy you got with a CD burner, you may need to get an upgrade or talk to the Nero people to get it unlocked for DVD burning.

    DVDShrink 3.2 released July 25th new AEC algorithms

    "I think someone did a screenshot comparison between quality of compression; it really gets noticeable below 65% on a good TV set. Probably obvious on a cheap TV below 60%." I don't get it. I've used DVDShrink at greater than 60% compression, maybe 55% or so. I have an HDTV and watch the...
