Hmm. Now it's showing: RADEON? 7500 Video Card, AGP, 64MB for $59.99 Guess it is something that'll have to be checked multiple times during the hour...

If not laser hot, then at least a hot laser - hot enough to fry the drive: From the cnet story "Representatives from Pioneer Electronics USA, based in Long Beach, Calif., said that writing to blank 4x DVD-R and 2x DVD-RW discs can cause its DVD-rewritable PC drives and DVD recorders to...

Correction: As noted in posts prior to yours, the Verbatim VALUELIFE are the same as your typical CMC, Made in Taiwan, don't trust for anything you can't replace discs. The Verbatim DATALIFE which Sam's also carries are the Azo dye that's generally regarded as being on-par with the Made in...

Which is all fine 'til that frisbee knocks out the endangered hawk as it's swooping down at 110mph for that field mouse. Or your kite string snaps resulting in an otter later getting his foot hopelessly tangled in the twine, leading to eventual infection and painful death. Or you bounce that...

It's got to be the Z540 - CUSA's regular price for both the Santa Cruz and the Z540's is $79.99, so buying both for $79.98 is an $80 savings as shown in the ad. compusa.com doesn't even show that they carry the Z560's, though street price on them is in the $130-$150 range elsewhere. Pretty...

It is most certainly not the case that "Noone else can take advantage" unless the person posting the deal was notified that there was only one left (which Amazon does do) and took it. These posts belong here just as much as any "YMMV" or "local" deal. For those who do make it a point to click...

<< A regular CD case has plenty of room for two CDs, just no way to secure the second one. >> But then you lose the ability to have a front insert... << Cyberguys has a neat little gadget they call the "CD STICK-IT" which is an adhesive-backed button that holds a CD. You can put one...

<< Here's the catch...you have to buy at least $40 or more to avoid a $4+ handling fee. :disgust: Kinda makes up for the shipping savings. >> Nice spotting - I hadn't caught that. Thanks. Looks like XDR2 might be the way to go, then. That price at Staples is much better than I'd seen...

For those who need double disc cases and have extra regular single disc cases laying around (as I do - curse my affinity for Verbatim DataLifes...), I just found these replacement trays that convert a standard jewel case into a double. At 75 for $19 (a bit over 25 cents each), they appear to be...

46,000 pounds available... Details MmMmmmmmm. Chicken. :D

Just got back from picking one up - noticed on the big cork board where they pin up the ad and put stickers on it to tell you which bin the rebate form is located had what appeared to be an e-mail from &quot;advertising&quot; telling the store to tell people that the rebate will indeed be...

>I only got one email but i ordered tonight so I don't expect them >to replay until tomorrow. Actually, I think that first letter is the confirmation. After not getting anything else for 24 hours, I re-read the mail I received 5 minutes after ordering. There are parts that make it sound...

> 100 Verbatium Data life 8x 74 Min CDRs for $24.97. It was 2 50 > packs wrapped together. I know some of you swear by these cds, > and for $.25 each it's not a bad deal. Unless this is something different than they've had here for the last couple of weeks, they are the &quot;Value Life&quot...

Minidisc unit with digital output? Anybody seen a decent price on a component MD recorder with either coax or optical digital out? Why don't they make portables with it... Sigh. Thanks

Put it in my cart earlier this morning and when I tried to &quot;update&quot; the quantity to 2, it re-adjusted it down to 1, saying &quot;quantity reduced to stock on hand&quot;. Thought I'd missed out - I didn't want just one. But nope - it appears to be back in stock - order confirmed for 2...
