    sprint pcs new plan

    I researched like a madman before getting my phone a few months ago. I'm 100% convinced that Verizon is the best bet in just about any aspect you care to talk about.

    good deal cdrw drives

    I didn't see it, but i'm guessing that $99 compusa deal wasn't for one of the fastest rated CD-RW drives out there. I'm picking this one up next week just because of it's DAE speed... it's supposed to be able to rip a whole CD in under 3 min. Pretty smokin', if you ask me.

    * Super Hot * Farberware Millennium 8-Piece Fine-Edge Knife Set with Block (Reg. $59.99) for Only $16!!!

    you get what you pay for... farberware is comparatively cheap, even at its regular prices. 'nuff said. one word though... most farberware stuff, at least that i've seen, are those serratted (yeah, i know i butchered spelling that) blades... you know, not sharp like a knife, more like a saw...

    Is there any reason not to log in as administrator on Win2k every time?

    How do you set up a non-Administrator account to log in locally to a w2k server? All i get with anything besides an Administrator account is soemthing about local policy not letting me log in interactively. Any ideas?

    1.99 10pack ikea AA batteries:P

    acutally, I've heard that these batteries are supposed to be pretty good, espeically for the price. Supposed to be comparable to major brand alkaline (sp?) batteries when used in small devices like discman, etc. i honestly don't see why everyone feels a need to rip apart a thread. if you...

    Sony Clie ~$198~ after PM & MIR

    The Clie is nice, especially with falling prices lately. But there just aren't any extra devices for it, so I went with a Palm IIIxe with the palm folding keyboard. I love it. The clie is a really nice unit though.

    i bought the 7200rpm version of this drive (20gb/platter) at best buy the other day for like $3090. it's an incredible drive, very fast, very quiet, and runs surprisingly cool. it's too bad that it has to go back in a week or so after i encode all these wav files ;)

    You get PAID $5.09 to buy a Visioneer 4400 USB Scanner and Microsoft Software!!! This is not a joke!

    Nice little scanner, pretty quiet. Runs just nice under Win2000. Beware of the PaperPort 6.5 software, i couldn't get it to print in win2000... upgraded it to 7.0, and all is fine. For those that are confused about the rebate issue: there are two separate rebates. The staples near me that...

    Beta-Testers for Philips FW-i1000 Internet Audio Mini Hi-Fi System

    I highly doubt that posting it on here significantly reduces any particular person's chance at becoming a beta tester. You are talking about a large company, not some little start up that no one has ever heard of. Even if 5000 people sign up from here, i'm sure it's a small percentage of the...
