    SEAGATE 750gb External HDD $379 Best Buy

    If the data is deemed to be that important, then justifying the additional expense for Raid 5 or other,(or more redundant) backup solution should be a non-issue IMO.

    $799-IBM ThinkPad T23 1.13GHz PIII Laptop w/ DVD - overstock

    Doesn't seem that hot IMO... I got a T23 over a year ago with the same specs + 802.11b and XP Pro for $999. I'd be more inclined to pick up one of the Dell Inspirons for $700 these days... better value for your money IMO. :) Cheers, Gabe

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1S 12X Opt. Digicam + Free CD player for $223.20

    Nice find! I ordered the black model for $245 + shipping from onecall.com this morning. (I had to have the black one) :) -But that was only $25 more than the silver at viking office... Now the silver at outpost being $50 cheaper than the black makes this deal muy caluroso! (very hot!)

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1S 12X Opt. Digicam + Free CD player for $223.20

    Must have been on sale, yes... the price of the silver one at amazon ($314) never changed... only the black. Amazon has the spare battery for $42. I wanted the black cause it looked so cool (and matched the lens hood). But I think I'm going to have to settle for the silver body since the black...

    2lbs beef jerky cubes + 100bags of tea for $22.5 + shipping
