I just decided to try this last week... I'm only planning on doing the free trial and then quitting, but I'm pretty impressed. They titles they sent me were here the next day (of course, I'm in Arizona so pretty close to the CA distrib center). Plus, try going to Blockbuster and finding...

That's a false comparison if there ever was one. I also think there are too many Newegg posts, but the fact is they are usually for an item that is priced among the lowest you can obtain it for from a reputable dealer. Now, if someone wants to post saying you can get the new iMac at this dealer...

I'm not anti-Mac. I've used Macs for years at work doing graphic design and stuff. I am, however, anti-ignorant Mac user zealots who spout nonsense. I'm sure the users on this board are more educated, but the hype is just too much sometimes. I think this thing is ugly, but at least it's...

Murphy is correct. It's still a good deal at $106, but that's what it is. The rebate splash on Dell's site is misleading.

That 50% rma rate has got to be complete crap. No company would continue selling something if they got 50% rma'ed. As usual I'm sure this is based on a survey of those with bad experiences on some web site that the people with no problems never go to. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly...

This is a nice program. I bought it about six months ago, then Ebayed it when I was finished and ended up paying almost nothing. Doesn't substitute for a real teacher, but it's a handy way to go through and learn the basics.

Okay, definite brag time. I showed up at Best Buy at 6:45, saw the line around the block and said, "the hell with that." I went to Staples, on the other side of the parking lot. About 20 people there. Got a 20 gig hard drive, label maker and the 50 cd spindle for $20 after rebates and $30...

DVD-R is definitely here to stay, since it is featured in the Pioneer, Panasonic and HP drives. However, they all use different rewriteable formats: DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM. DVD-RAM is going to lose because it can't work on standalone video players. I would bet on Pioneer's DVD-RW since they...

The racist comments should stop. If you're a Christian, you don't want people thinking we're all like Jerry Fallwell do you? Neither do most Islamics want Bin Laden as their role model. America indeed is what it is because most of us can focus on our common goals rather than our differences...

The problem is most sites, such as Hardocp, don't include the gladiator. Though I believe they did include the GoldenGate, which is essentially the same. I picked up a couple gladiators because at $18 they were one of the cheapest all copper solutions. However, I don't know if the CrazyPC stock...

If you look for an import market you can get guarana a lot cheaper without the fancy bottle. Having lived in Brazil, I try all the guarana sodas I can find. Antarctica is my preferred brand, but most the others are pretty good as well, with the exception of that Josta crap that was out a while...

This is a great little unit as far as Palms go. I got mine with the 10% off at Dell, which considering there is tax at staples and not at Dell is close to the same deal, and really like it!

I recently ordered the "free" quicksilver with a couple gladiator heatsinks and got them with no trouble at all. Which is not to say the store doesn't jerk around it's customers.... but no problem here.

Yes, and it works well. But where is the hot deal?

It's because it's a promotion. "find the free product" basically and the thermoengine has expired. They say a new product will be up in a few hours. Anyone spot it?
