    $109 WD 40 GB 7200 RPM ATA 100 (Fastest IDE drive around) DEAL OVER! ::: Has anyone recieved their drive yet?

    The maxtor is the fastest STR (throughput) of any ATA/100 drives, but the IBM 75GXP still beats it in any access speed pattern, which actually determines the feel of your drive 99% of the time.

    Hot deal on the Nokia 8260: 39.99!!

    Don't pick based on the phone, picked based on the coverage, which is more important to 99.9% of the people. The 8290 is a GSM1900 phone, and the coverage for that network is extremely limited when compared to the TDMA 8260. People like VoiceStream, PacBell, and Nevada Bell sell the 8290...

    Hot deal on the Nokia 8260: 39.99!!

    For anyone who cares, The 8290 is the GSM version of the 8260. The 8890 is the GSM version of the 8860. The 8890 is not meant to be compared to the 8260. They are different series. Keep the 88xx and 82xx to themselves. As far as the 8860 vs 8260, the 8260 is FAR superior in everything...

    Xerox C20 Printer 89.99 Buy.com Deal of the day (9-20-00)

    Out of the box, the C20 isn't network ready. The NC20 >IS<. That's why the NC20 is $500 and the C20 is $150 (as well as the NC20 has 24megs of RAM, the C20 only 8megs of RAM). Other then that, C20 and NC20 are identical.

    Xerox C20 Printer 89.99 Buy.com Deal of the day (9-20-00)

    The C20 is a nice little printer, but it DOES NOT go for $450. I don't know what's up with those prices. Only thing I can sayis people are mixing their pricing with the NC20 which is a 24MB Networked version of the C20 (via Ethernet). The C20 can be had for $117 here...
