Fixed link and yes... *slobber*

I bought one of these back in January, and at the time the CF reader part had serious compatibility problems. I ended up applying an unofficial firmware patch I found from someone on another site, which fixed it. I've since heard that Sandisk has updated the firmware on the shipping model...

It does not get spam because spam is made of pork, so it is not kosher. Funny, but seriously OT...

Look carefully at the bottom ($15) rebate. "Offer only good in Canada." The US rebate is only $10. sorry. =)

yep. After I submitted the application, it said "Your application has been received and you will receive a response from us by US Mail within 30 days." D'oh!

Just got another email back saying the ETA on this item is now March 5. This is really annoying, but it seems like buy.com and everyone else is also out of stock. What was creative thinking?

I've had one of these on order from Techsavings for over two weeks. I finally got an email from them today saying that their ETA is 02/03/03. I'm assuming this date is in American format, so that's in about two more weeks. Not sure if I'm going to cancel my order now or not...

if you PM AFTER buying it you get 110% not just 100%. So buy first THEN PM. Um... I've gotten BB to PM 110% at the time of purchase, several times. As a matter of fact, I thought that was just what they did... Have they changed things? Or has that really always been their policy?

Hmm... I just went to CC and tried to pricematch the $39 deal from officemax - I didn't even realize that they had a $20 rebate, I just wanted the 10% discount. The CSR refused to do the pricematch, because it would end up being like $20 (duh, that's why i was buying it), so I talked to a...

I like how on the form to get a free pen, it lists the value as $50 -- then on their main site (www.giftvalues.com) they sell them for $5. =)

Last weekend, I picked up a CyberPower 300VA (~175W) UPS at Walmart B&M for $28.00, on clearance. I needed something to run my cablemodem, router, etc., and figured that this was a good (cheap) choice. When I went back today, though, they had marked them down to $10.00!!! I bought all four...
