I live in manhattan and I get the quarterly j&r catalog. Their prices are rape. I'm not saying this thread is a bad deal but in general, their prices are rape.

J&R usually rips people off. Their prices are usually not good at all.

And BTW... BX SCI OWNS STUY. Just wanted to get that cleared.

J&R regular prices are just as good as STUY =). j&r did have pretty nice prices on those select items today though. too bad they were like sold out the minute they opened. goes to show you that people jumped on it because this sale is going to happen only once in a millenium.

J&R have competitive prices. Only bad is the 8.25% tax I have to pay if I buy from them.

I went to J&R once and I hated it there. Ignorant sales reps that are clueless about store products. Kept telling me to go ask another rep, who in turn told me to ask the other dept. etc. And becuz I look young, they didn't take me seriously... no respect at all.

and for the last time, BX SCI OWNZ STUY.
yeah, it's ownz with a Z cuz appaprently rulez is with a Z too.

yea I was there and it was a mad house. Tons of people were pissed off trying to grab those 22" monitors and those Sony VAIO laptops. Thank god i was just there to pick up the Netgear Switch Kit.

Oh yeah there's another J&R thing going on Tuesday at 12PM where the first 500 customers can pick up a "factory-serviced" Palm III for $49 bux

yea a rigmah I know you meant that as I joke but I actually knew that girl so i wasn't pleased by the whole incident

rigmah's got it right!
STUY sucks.
BX SCI sucks.
TECH rules.

and to stay on topic... J&R sucks too. Not to sound anti-semetic or nothing, but the people who work there are so shifty and condescending.

ok... I'll admit it. Staten Island Tech is the best school in NYC that's built on a LANDFILL!
FWIW, Townsend Harris in Queens is widely regarded as the best HS in NYC.

It's good to see that after all these years, there's still healthy rivalry between BTHS, Stuy, and Bx Sci.

Hey, are there still SOS in Tech? (If you don't know what SOS is, I guess the answer is no.)

SOS? Don't know what you're talking about. It might still be there, if I only knew what it meant. I haven't been there in 3 years though.

LOL... Why is this thread becoming an NYC HS brawl? They are all great schools, but deep down inside, we know Science was, is and will remain the best.
