    *DEAD* 8-95.com webhosting 3 for 1 sale

    <bump> Deal extended thru October 15 Can anyone clarify the difference between the reseller account and one of the other multi-domain accounts? I don't want to get involved in reselling, but have more than one domain name I'd like to get online (mostly for personal satisfaction right now)...

    Lukewarm: Netgear router/PCMCIA Card/print server

    uh ... actually I think that is the PS401na card - it is 802.11b but only works in the Print Server. I would print out and save a copy of Googlegears web page ASAP so you can hold them to their advertised deal if you get the PS401 instead of a MA401 from Netgear. Check out this thread at fa...

    80% Off Cell Phone Accessories + Additional 10%-20% Off!

    Isn't CellPhoneShop the one that is really located in Taiwan? I have heard some good things about DayDeal.com, I'm thinking of picking up a flashing antenna for my s105. Has anyone ordered from them before? Thanks.

    Samsung s105(cell phone) FREE AR at Amazon.com w/ contract.

    Two problems with this: One, I don't think you can add lines to a family plan through Amazon, and Two, you have to wait for rebates. BUT, if you can find a T-Mobile corporate store, you may be able to get the phone for free (that's free as in beer, no rebates to wait for) with activation (new...

    Warm: Phone upgrade deal for T-Mobile customers

    freakrck You're making me feel I "left money on the table" as it were. Good job! Oh well, the the V66 is for my daughter, anyway. I'll just have to wander off and use my free s105 phone to call my wife on her free s105 phone and have her comfort me.

    Warm: Phone upgrade deal for T-Mobile customers

    Deal first of all assumes that your one year (or whatever it was) commitment has expired. I have mine scheduled to expire in first half of December so I can get the Christmas deals. I called T-Mobile Customer Service and verified with the CSR that my contractual obligations had been satisfied...

    Free color Phones at T-Mobile stores (w/ activation) YMMV

    Free as in beer, that is. I think requires T-Mobile storefront, maybe mall Kiosk. Activation is required ($35), adding a new line to family plan counts as activation. If you decide to start a new plan, make sure you start it before you cancel the old plan, otherwise you have to wait 90 days...

    SystemWorks 2003 & VirusScan 7.0 $2.98 AR

    McAfee deal was discussed in this thread, SystemWorks deal in this thread, but both deals require ownership of previous copy. If you do not have a previous copy, you can still qualify if you buy both. From Amazon, Norton SystemWorks 2003 for $62.99 + VirusScan Home Edition 7.0 for $39.99 =...

    The store in St. Louis Pk, MN has them in a big bin in their "sale row" as you come in. Historically price is good until end of sale date or bin is empty, whichever comes first. Cables are the SignaMax brand grey cables with Nickel plated connectors. Have no idea what shipping costs are if...

    18volt tool sets at Home Depot $169-199 or less (AMD version)

    I've got the 4 piece set and I love it. I suppose it I were a professional, it would be worth it to upgrade to an Old Milwaukee or DeWalt set (DeWalt, currently $466 for the same kit). However, as a home do-it-yourselfer, it's worth every penny. The Drill is a full 1/2" drill. The Circular...

    dieselstation, This is great!! Down to $7.95 a month and three months free to boot! And for all the other propeller heads out there, the only reason I use AOL if for Email, and that just because I was too lazy to go through the hassle of changing it. The problem is my wife and kids love it...
