    Cheap GAS!

    Costco has great prices on Gas. Cheaper than Arco, usually, and about 15 cents cheaper than mainstream gas stations.

    Cyberonic DSL 1.5m/768k bps $39.99 with 18 month contract

    I'm on a month to month contract with cyberonic. It's uptime is comparable to other broadband ISPs, so that's not an issue for me. But I love the upload. I can run servers (mail, web, ftp) off it, and they're great. Their news service sucks, but I don't use nntp, so I don't care. I live in...

    Huge sale at Nordstrom! July 18th-20th only

    It's not that items are marked down, it's NEW fall items that are reduced in price before they go back up. The real deals are at Nordstrom Rack around Sept. 1, but YMMV at that point. I worked there during a summer in College. This sale IS worth it.

    3.1 M Pixel mini camera $89

    I've never bought one, but if you look at the specs, it's actually only 2 megapixels. The 3 megapixel number comes through software interpolation. From the Specs Page: Product type: Digital Camera, Digital Camcorder & PC Camera Resolution: 2048 x 1536 (by software enhancement) 1600 x 1200...

    FREE GAS! For those in Los Angeles, CA...

    Clearly, you are mistaken on this. There will be increased pollution due to this promotion. Consider it this way: Every minute somebody waits in line for free gas, that's another minute that the car is on instead of going across the street and coughing up the money. Just like how there would...

    FC-PGA2 Tualatin Converter for S370 MB, $12.88

    It's the different bus speeds. The p2 500 is 100Mhz bus * 5. The old (probably LX) motherboard was either set or limited to a 66Mhz Bus, so you get 66Mhz * 5. Hope this helps.

    FREE GAP panty/boxer

    In California, a lot of sales tax was lost with stores giving stuff away, like cell phones. So they passed a law that when stuff is given away or for like a penny, they should charge you sales tax for the value of the item at regular price.

    These posts are starting to bother me. I don't know what you guys think, but if ideawiz wanted to let us know when he updates, he can just buy an ad. If there's a hot deal, the I could see the point, but otherwise, this isn't really relevant.
