So I take a trip to OfficeMAX just to get out of the house. I see a big table full of crap they are getting rid of. One thing that catches my eye is a Microsoft wireless router and two notebook wireless cards. The Router was clearanced priced for $30 and the cards were $5. Granted it's b and only 10 megabits I still think it's a pretty good deal.

Next to it on the table is a 52x CD-ROM drive selling for $89 and that was marked down from $159. :confused:

They also had 8x DVD+_RW burners for $30 after rebates. :Q

The Office Max flyer arrives most Sundays.

I just recycle the flyer immediately.

If I rush down there they either don't know what I'm talking about or they are sold out. Jeebus, it's 10 o'clock in the morning and they just opened and they are sold out?

I hate OM.

They had seven 8x DVD burners at 2:30 PM, the ones on sale for $30.00, but they have them on sale every week it seems.

Ours must be a little teeny weenie OM. The employees brains are the same.

they have to charge somebody MAX

Anyone else find it odd when people name themselves after people of the opposite sex, especially one that is largely reguarded as walking blowup doll?

I hate retail OM for sales. I <3 phone OM though. Takes less than ten minutes, I surf AT while I'm ordering and it gets delivered to me. :)
