    WARM: 500GB External WD MyBook $118+tax, OTD, no rebates

    About $18 more than the cheapest AR deal I've seen, but I had some gift cards which made this a better deal. Price match Compusa's price to CC: CompUSA: http://www.compusa.com/product...ll&product_code=338831 CC: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm...m/ccd/productDetail.do No rebates...

    D-Link DGL-4100 Gigabit Router $74.99 after MIR

    Well I got mine, and this is my point, they should be getting cheaper - what's the the cool technology in this so-called "gaming" router that's so fantastic? Did they make the case clear and add a neat-o blue cathode? :-/ -N

    D-Link DGL-4100 Gigabit Router $74.99 after MIR

    No offense to OP. but I don't see how this is a hot deal. I got an 8 port Netgear 6 months or more ago which supports jumbo frames and gigabit over cat5 for $35AR. It's never given me a moment's trouble. I don't want to get flamed for this, but I think there are hotter deals than this daily...

    WD5000AAKS: $130 after $10 rebate at Newegg (free 3 day ship too)

    Whoops. I just commented because as I read this thread, I thought I was losing my marbles, (I think you did a cut and paste job from another thread) not because I agree or disagree with your (or anyone else's) observation on this subject. That's what I get for being a smart aleck. =) -N

    Great Deal at Office Depot

    Just for the uninitiated, I've had two printers in this series, and they are the singular reason I'll never buy HP inkjets again. They dry up in weeks if you aren't a frequent user, my machines had expirations on the ink that always arrived before the carts were even close to empty, and the...

    Free router?

    I think it's a pretty cool idea. With the relatively low-range of Wi-Fi, you have to get a LOT of these out there, especailly in suburban areas, to make any sort of difference, but in densely populated cities (like in Europe, the origin of the project) this is brilliant if you have enough...

    6 pairs of Day and Night Contacts $9.78AR HOT!

    Don't know, but the other question I have is: has anyone used the PDF that was originally up there and gotten money back? I thought you had to send in the original rebate form they gave you. I submitted one of these previously, and I got an individually numbered rebate certificate, one that...

    27" GoVideo LCD HDTV for $400 after MIR

    Unfortunately, without a cable box, very few TVs (and none at this price point) can tune HDTV from your cable company. Cable cards are available for higher-end HDTVs that incorporate this feature, but for now, count on having a cable box if you want cable HD. OTA HD is, of course, available...

    Get out of your Cingular Contract w/o ETF

    I respectfully disagree. Having been a Cingular customer for 10+ years now, they have a deserved bad rap, and I feel comfortable representing that. Is any company perfect? No, but those with captive customers are ALWAYS the worst - because they can be. Bravo to the customers in this forum...

    Get out of your Cingular Contract w/o ETF

    Actually, the morons are those who think this policy change has anything to do with that. It was a revision of the arbitration clause, the "change in fees" proviso was always there. And 5 cents is a 50% increase in fees, and a coercive measure to induce customers to spend more. No need to...

    Get out of your Cingular Contract w/o ETF

    Simple. People who use pay-per-use text don't use very much, probably a half-dozen or so messages, for which they make $0.60. If they "coerce" you into a plan for $4.99 by upping the rates (see their notice of increase in fees), they net a profit of $4 per customer and theynever have to...

    Get out of your Cingular Contract w/o ETF

    I dunno. What I was told is that "My contracts were cancelled". He was going to pull the plug on the accounts, too, but I asked that he leave those intact. He said that I could port the #s or call and cancel when I wished. I should have asked for something in writing, but I was so relieved...

    Get out of your Cingular Contract w/o ETF

    I'm out. Given my history of poor service and that this was icing on the cake, I was able to exit after speaking to an "escalated" CSR. Best of luck to others that try. Thanks to OP for the tip. -N

    Get out of your Cingular Contract w/o ETF

    Well, 2 months is nothing - they let people upgrade, etc. at 6 months out, so it is definitely easier for them to let you out with 2. I have 18. Different story, to be sure. Thanks for the tip, I'll try what you suggested. -N

    Get out of your Cingular Contract w/o ETF

    Well, I'm staging to file suit and trigger their arbitration provision. It'll cost me $60 to file to get out of a 2-line contract with a $350 ETF. Cingular has gone straight downhill since they used to be BellSouth Mobility. I've been with them for 10 years, but when I can't place a call...

    Get out of your Cingular Contract w/o ETF

    I just got off the phone - no luck. He says that "Cingular has decreed" that Text pay-per use doesn't qualify as a "service". I think I'm taking them to the mat for this. I can't place reliable calls in the capital of my state, and this is a perfect way out since those a-holes are making a...

    COMPUSA IS CLOSING IN IRVING, TEXAS. HUGE SALE

    This is always the case with liquidators. Let me guess, the signs all look alike and are di-chromatic with large % displayed prominently? They all get liquidated by the same people, and while they don't raise the prices, they leave them all at regular price, so it's a great deal of YMMV at...

    WARM: General Motors Ups Warranty Coverage

    I disagree with your assertion. If you build a crappy product that cost nothing to build, it costs similarly nothing to replace. You bank on the chance of the warranty by extrapolating the number of likely failures, the number of likely repairs, and the overall life of the product, the...

    WARM: General Motors Ups Warranty Coverage

    It's common knowledge that as a rule of thumb, the longer the warranty a company offers, the shoddier the quality of their products. Of course, this isn't a hard and fast rule, but does generally hold true. Odd, but I learned that in on my my MKT classes. -N
