    19in LCD Flat-Panel Display with Speakers - $289.00 After $90.00 MIR

    Yes, I purchased one in December when the AR price was $299 - No word on the rebate yet. Mine had 3 bad pixel elements and was RMA'd for a defect free unit, which took the aforementioned 5 weeks. I'm not a gamer so can't rate gaming performance but for general use it's a nice display.

    19in LCD Flat-Panel Display with Speakers - $289.00 After $90.00 MIR

    It does have DVI. Reasonable if a bit slow RMA process if you receive a defective unit (5 weeks to RMA) Display is excellent! Rebate processing very slow... 7 weeks and no signe of my rebate being "received" or "in-process" ... I'm trying to remain calm.. patience is a virtue.

    If you have Roadrunner cable I need your help

    With the router/switch, you'll be fine. If you simply hooked a hub to the cable modem, each computer would claim an IP and RR service would charge you for each computer. If you're using a Router/Switch or one of the software routing solutions (like MS InternetConnectionSharing,etc), only...

    Need to know what happens in a Jewish wedding ceremony!!

    Q: What happens at a Jewish Wedding? A: Generally, it's marriage ceremony during which the Bride and Groom become Husband and Wife. Surprisingly, it can be a shorter ceremony than what I've observed with other followings. The length, complexity, etc will vary depending on the wishes of the...

    Advantages of Digital Cameras... who owns them? Worth it?

    I started with an Olympus 340R which seems to have become something of a "standard" in the no-zoom arena and after taking something like 1000 pictures with it in the year and a half I owned it, picked up a D-460Z. Both take surprisingly good snaps and I haven't used a film camera for...

    OT: In regard to the "Smokin hot lava 40 gig maxtor HD deal".....

    I doubt the original post was a prank. I do suspect that the original poster of this deal saw it as a valid "deal". There's little doubt that the recent $179 price dropping to $139 would be a reasonable action for BB. The price for this drive has eroded over the last few months and...

    Hot or Not? Handspring Deluxe "refurb" $119 at Frys

    Saw a slew of these at the Woodland Hills Store. All in factory boxes with a "previously loved" sticker attached. Seemed like an OK price for an 8MB PDA.

    Retail Teac 16x10x40 CDRW- $99.99 after Rebate!!!

    How to tell---? Easy, check the thread on the Fry's drive and you'll find that those who bought the Cendyne Drive at Frys did in fact open the box and in fact did find that the drives were LiteOn drives. Rocket science? Naw, just read the posts.
