cyberkost, everything you said was true except for "quickly get into legal trouble." It's not illegal to start up a business selling over the internet. As long as you don't have a business presence in a state, you don't have to charge sales tax there. Having worked for 3 years in Nevada...

Actually, it's even better. You can get CS3 Design PREMIUM for roughly the same price. If I can find a cheap online class that qualifies, I'm enrolling: http://www.neo-fight.tv/2007/04/deal_of_the_day_adobe_cs3_desi.html

I actually had 3 of a kind, but somehow didn't win. I don't know if it's because I had flashblock enabled or what. Would've won the X1950 bundle, I think. Bummed :(

I see the same thing in Firefox, except for this: Browser Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

My personal favorite is Paint.NET. It looks great, works well, and includes layer support. http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/

I'm too cheap to get the equipment I want so I'll just make do with what I have for now. A Korg X50 w/ that coupon would be a great deal, but that's all I have my eye on. Had it been available a few weeks ago, I'd have used it when I bought an amp.

some of us like a higher res. WSXGA+ would be my preference for this size.

It looks like this is made by "Global Marketing Partners" aka CUBIG Group. It seems to be related to the Gigafast 256 MB player, but I can't find anyone selling a version bigger than that other than theTechGeek.com, who don't rate too highly on RR http://www.resellerratings.com/seller9696.html

RadioShack's model is the Kanguru Micro MP3 Pro. This doesn't look like the mp3 player linked here, and it doesn't have the FM Tuner feature. I don't think it's the same model. FWIW, RadioShack lists the Kanguru as having 17 hours of battery life.

I purchased a used IBM Trinitron 21" from surpluscomputers over a year ago. I looked at 5 models before I found one that was acceptably sharp and clear. It still has a small color tint to it and it's sharper near the center than the edges, but it's much better than the 21" Nokia I replaced...

"talking basic Office apps, web browsing, etc." I only hope you mean that for those apps, integrated video doesn't matter. Because, it doesn't. In fact even for watching DVDs/DiVX movies, it's fine. The GMA950 isn't great, but it isn't shabby for day-to-day computer tasks. Obviously...

My dad bought a camcorder from buydig a couple years ago. I don't remember how long it took, but his experience was good enough that he has good feelings about them and would buy from them again. I've been in the market for a D50 and leaning toward buydig because of his experience and their...

wow @ 200 GB hard drive deals. $170 out the door for 19" LCD is very hot, too. Which line, which line... :)

$200 card, add to cart... just like the superman said.

I drive 89db speakers (Polk R15s) with the T-amp. I wouldn't mind having a few db higher sensitivity for more bass volume, but it can get pretty loud without distorting. I did rule out some 86db speakers, and while I think they would have been ok, I'm glad I went with higher sensitivity...
