Posted a couple times but this is my first Hot deal, I think. Went to Fry's Elect. today to pick up the 2-disc(yes the 2 disc)set of Boogie Nights for $13.99. Found that they have Windows ME for Dummies book on sale for $5.99. Ask for the $5.00 rebate form at the check out counter. The books sugg. retail (on the back cover) is $19.99 and Fry's regular price is $17.95. After rebate and tax it comes to just over $1.00. Not bad for a $20 book that I sure could use.
For those of you thinking of upgrading to Windows ME, you can do this and it's perfectly legal. It's cheaper than buying the full upgrade version and with the $0.99 Windows ME for Dumbies you don't need the full manual. By a used copy of Windows 98 from someone or get a friend to give you it for free if they have already upgraded (If you have a nice friend like that). Then buy the Windows ME promotional upgrade ($50.00). The Windows ME upgrade will do a full install as long as you have a Windows 98 disc. Just install the Windows ME upgrade disc and when it asks for the Windows 98 disc, put it in, then take it out and put the Windows ME disc back in. Hope this helps you people out there....
