Any predictions for cellular phones? I just quit my company b/c the telecommuting wasn't working for me. I lose my company cell phone after this next pay period is over. Hopefully a V. Motorola?

scythic, thanks for your buy.com "predictions".
I've been waiting for the CCNA cert kit to come up and have been checking their DOTD day after day ever since I read your post. This is a book I really needed.

And finally buy.com did put this kit up as DOTD last week.
at $34.99 (regular price $99.99), it's an unbeatable price.

again, thanks alot for your info.

scythic and MrBakasan - Thanks so much for the heads up. I think this gets my vote for Deal of the Day on this board. I get all giddy inside thinking I know something most people don't! BTW, the link for the Sony notebook says the item is no longer listed.
