    MULTIMETER , 7-function Digital $2.99

    Which wire stripper were you referring to? There are two for $1.99 each, the small one or the large one. I want to make sure I purchase the correct one. I have a bunch of wires to strip.

    Still the cheapest Retail Box E2140 anywhere.

    Until recently, I had pretty good experience ordering online and picking up in store, but lately it looks like out of stock has been a problem, and it has been 2 or 3 days before they acknowledge that the order is ready for pickup, which is not good if you are not picking up in store. Buying a...

    hot?: HP 1gb/10$ still on?

    Applying the affgoo2 coupon code had the strange result of taking off both the $5 and the NJ Sales Tax, which was actually greater than the $5 discount. This IS NJ, after all.

    1TB Western Digital My Book Essential v2.0 for $179.99

    For me, it worked for two, not for one. Surprised I got the discount twice, that pretty much never happens. Wonder if I'll actually get the drives?

    COMPUSA 23rd Anniversary Sale----TONS OF FAR ITEMS!

    The erebate do work fine, and I received mine very quickly. The other rebates are always dicey. Regarding the MIO GPS, I got one for Christmas and I love it. Of course, it's the only one I've ever owned so my only basis for comparison is Mapquest!:D

    Sirius Radio

    I believe you do have to follow instructions and activate even if you have a paid account. It should automatically download the latest list of stations as soon as it's activated, but you do have to be sure you have a signal at the time, so don't be sitting under a tree or highway overpass. ;)

    Does Sirius provide any sort of podcasting of their shows?

    I have my Sirius receiver connected to my stereo, and I run the line out from my stereo to the line in of my computer, then use Total Recorder software to record directly to my hard drive in MP3 format. 24 hours of programming only takes up about 500 megs of space. With Total Recorder you can...

    Save $15 on any $30 or more at Newegg.com when you pay with PayPal

    Actually, when I clicked on Newegg from the Paypal Promotion website, I was directed to this promotional page at Newegg with special deals for Paypal users: http://promotions.newegg.com/NEemail/promo031507in/index.html So there might be an opportunity for additional savings.

    Computer Geeks Geek Stor 288-Disc Black Nylon CD/DVD Case

    Shipping is $9 to NJ, so better buy more than one item! I agree, not the best quality. Never had a problem with the zippers, but the sleeves are die cut, and the part on the top that's perforated should have been removed but you have to remove it yourself. And make sure you keep the folder...

    Sirius Stiletto SL10 for $125 shipped

    Sirius is offering half price on several of their radios. I'm not sure if this is for current subscribers only, the deal came up when I was updating my account. Anyway I got the Sirius Stiletto SL10 for $125 plus NJ sales tax shipped. I haven't seen this portable unit selling for less than...

    Vista Home Premium Academic upgrade $65.98 ?

    A copy of a valid student ID? Oh, that ought to be tough to come up with... You do have to create a business account, though. My regular bestbuy.com ID did not work on the business website. They didn't ask for any information I wasn't able to provide, though, so at worst it was a minor...

    Free after MIR Kingston 512MB Secure Digital Card

    It seems like every time I submit a Kingston rebate they send me a card back saying I am missing this or that, then I check my copy and discover I sent it all the first time, send it again, and finally get my rebate. Kingston is not the best, in my opinion.

    Free Bag or Box of any Malt-O-Meal Cereal

    There are a few of the Malt O Meal cereals that I like even better than the original. But I echo the sentiment that I'm sick and tired of these coupon printer programs you have to install that end up putting a half dozen icons on your desktop and launch menu's and remind you every other day to...
