    i'll assume ``ggc'' in the topic summary means best buy's gamers gift card, which gives $5 off. has anyone had problems using the GGC with PC games? my bestbuy (in san francisco) gave me no end of hassle when i did this for battlefield vietnam - they insisted that the GGC was for games only...

    PNY Verto 64mb ti4200 RMA

    i got a PNY Verto 64mb ti4200 card from best buy about 2 years ago. actually, that's the problem - my friend picked it up for me because he was in the store, and i paid him. i've been happy with this card. now it has started to flake out on me. it runs okay doing 2d stuff, but when my opengl...

    the media is minidisc, a magneto-optical format. the media is neither cheap nor common. see minidisc.org I've been considering getting a minidisc for recording meetings and lectrures - the `SLP' mode can record a few hours on one disc. you can make cues during playback, so it's really handy...

    Hott? USB2/Firewire External IDE Enclosure $35.99

    i've used enclosures with the combo prolific chipset (PL3507), works well. there was a time when these chipsets were new, and oxford made a name because theirs worked better than others. i don't think that's the case with current chipsets - if it supports 300gb devices, it's probably fine...

    Hottest Deal OF ALL TIME!!

    slightly off-topic, but can anyone give an overview of when these early termination fees are required to be pro-rated? i think contract termination fees are required to be pro-rated in some states. the contracts never mention proration of the early term fee, but still some state laws mandate it.

    since my local OMax's only have the Khypermedia, i tried to get a Mad Dog on the phone. CSR told me they are CBO, so if you find a Mad Dog at your store, lucky you.
