    Star Wars AOTC DVD $9.99 @ Toys'r'us.. PM at WM,KM,CC,BB,BB,CUSA..3 days left! {o.t. easter eggs added}

    I went to Walmart yesterday and the price was scanning as $14.77. Then I headed over to TRU and they had plenty of fullscreens with no mention of $9.99 anywhere. They had a copy of the ad on a board, but I did not see StarWars on there and I did not see any ads anywhere in the store. Then...

    Crazy sucky day at work today. Almost died, almost quit...

    I don't see how he could cut your pay for the hours you already worked including the lunch hours if that is what was previously agreed upon. You at the very least had a verbal contract stating that you would work and he would pay you a set amount. He can notify you that your pay will go down...

    RETRO! What was your Rig 5 years ago?

    MWave sound card/modem! I was a co-op with MWave back in 1996. I still remember loading up Warcraft 2 as the first thing after we reinstalled so that we could do a Soundblaster/Modem test. We would have 4 of us all in the lab "testing" that function for hours over IBM's network. Best job...

    Just voted; no one was checking ID's!

    If you are old enough to vote then you are old enough to have ID. It doesn't need to be a drivers license either. States have IDs that can be had at the DMV that aren't drivers licenses. I think that if you cannot establish that you are a resident of the state and that you have an address...

    What is your favorite TV Game Show of all time?

    Starcade Face it, back in the day you wanted to be one of those kids, even though they appear dorky now. And the tips from the host just before they played were priceless. The Family Feud also has that guy who wore flannel all the time on Home Improvement as a host. I was just flipping...

    I want to build my own AV equipment rack

    Use a large diameter dowel as the legs and drill holes in each end of them except for the bottom ones. Then use a smaller diameter dowel to join two of the larger diameter dowels together with the shelf in between the larger ones. So going up one leg you should have big dowel, then shelf, then...

    DEAD [Good while it Lasted!]: Dell Dimension 4550 2.4Ghz w/ 15'' Flat Panel 60GB HD 64MB Video $599 Shipped!

    The CDRW offered to me was an incentive not to send back the computer. It was not a pricematch. I asked the return lady and she stated that I could pricematch within the 30 days still. They may give you trouble pricematching this configuration to the first deal unless you had originally...

    DEAD [Good while it Lasted!]: Dell Dimension 4550 2.4Ghz w/ 15'' Flat Panel 60GB HD 64MB Video $599 Shipped!

    If you do call to get a pricematch do not talk to a guy named Grant. He just gave me the runaround the entire time. Last time I called to get a pricematch I got it immediately. He told me they would have to submit something to another group and they would total up the price of the components...

    My mother in law ordered one of these when the deal was first going around in early September. I called for her last night when I saw the price went down and got her $200 back. It may be worth your while to check into it. The best part of the deal for me is that she is going to give me the...
