Free Tech Tools CD

I got my hopes up there for a minute that this was the diagnostic software for Macs (TechTool by Micromat, Inc.). For any others that might be thinking the same thing, it's not. It's software for embedded systems development.

The Great Santini DVD for $5.88 with free shipping

This is an excellent movie! Duvall's performance is classic, and the other actors are very good as well. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it before.

San Francisco ONLY, Office Depot in Redwood City is closing

<< Would this be like 15% off pens and pencils? Cuz I doubt they'd be offering 15% off hdd, monitors and RAM >> I stopped in this store recently when the discount was 10%, and it did apply to things like hard drives, video cards, CD burners. From what I could see, though, 10% off (or even...

AMD Athlon XP 1700+ bundled with FIC KT266A MB for $169 at Fry's in Dallas

<< Can someone ask a Fry's mangager etc. if and when they are coming to Atlanta. - thanks >> Useful information (yes, even about their own operation) is a rare thing indeed in a Fry's. There are occasionally decent deals to be had, but believe me you pay the price if you ever have to return...

CompUSA instore specials

<< TDK is very fast with their rebates. >> CompUSA, however, is not. Even though they call it a "manufacturer's rebate", it sure looks like it's from CUSA to me. It goes to the same New Rochelle, NY address as most of their rebates. I'm still waiting for my CUSA $50 rebate from purchasing a...

HOT 104 CD case plus 20 blank cdrs for $12.99 at TJMax..

I checked it out. The cases are CD Projects - the same brand that has been in some Staples deals recently. They don't seem to be made as well as Case Logic cases, but the price is right. The CDs in the 104 case are Pengo 650MB... again the same as in other recent CD Project case deals. The...

Imation 50pk CDRs 16X $8.99 at CUSA

<< oddly enough most TDKs these days are CMC magnetics discs. >> The key phrase in jerboy's comment is made in Japan. Made in Japan TDKs are Taiyo Yudens. Some made in Taiwan TDKs I just bought last week are Riteks.

XP 1800+ Shuttle AK31A $179 Fry's SO. CAL *DEAD*

If you're thinking about this combo, I advise you to research this mobo before buying it. I don't have experience with this Shuttle model, but I took the plunge on another Fry's combo a couple of months ago that included a Shuttle AK12A. I made the mistake of falling for the attractive price...

50 TDK CDR 9.99

<< but the TDKS burned in 3:20 approx on my Plextor! SO TDK ARE BETTER THAN FUJI >> So in your mind saving 1 minute in burn time = better disc? I value quality and longevity of the burned disc more than time it takes to burn, myself.

Free PC Mag NO CC - From Dell

I'm not arguing with free, but just make sure you note the fine print: << When the subscription ends we will automatically continue your subscription for as long as you wish, without interruption at guaranteed savings off the cover price, unless you instruct us otherwise. We will notify and...

Imation CD-Rs 24X 50 pack 4.99 @Circuit City after $25 rebate, started today 1/29

<< The online rebate forms call for the original UPC with the $10 and a copy with the $15. >> Given the way it works when you purchase in the store (see my post above), I would think you could send a copy of the UPC for the CC rebate without too much anxiety. Otherwise maybe someone who...

Imation CD-Rs 24X 50 pack 4.99 @Circuit City after $25 rebate, started today 1/29

In my experience with Circuit City rebates, the CC half states a copy of the UPC barcode, leaving the original UPC for the manufacturer rebate. As an example, I bought a Netgear PCMCIA NIC at CC yesterday (really!), which has a CC $20 MIR and a Netgear $10 MIR. When you buy the item, you get...

Fry's - Visioneer OneTouch 8700 1200x4800dpi USB scanner - 39.99 (no MIR)

I checked the price of this at Fry's Palo Alto over the weekend and also found it to be $99. Fry's did have a Umax Astra 3400 on sale for $29 (!), but after doing a little research I decided to pass, even at that price.
