For what you need, the 700m is a good choice as Ross mentioned. I got mine for $800 ($500 coupon and $200 rebate cut the price down from $1500). The regular battery is not that great, so as Ross suggested, I'd get the extended battery. The keyboard is fine - although it is somewhat small because of the overall small size of the laptop. The screen is absolutely beautiful and is extremely bright and the high resolution on the 12" screen makes everything very sharp. Just my impressions from ~6 months of using it.

We have a Toshiba DVD/VCR that's about 2 1/2 years old now. Bought it when they were going for $200. Never had a problem. Looks like the reviews on Amazon on this particular model are mixed. I heard that Toshiba is using lower-quality components for some of their cheaper models now (basically relying on their brand name to sell them), but I don't know if this is the case with it or not.

Oops. I believe that is supposed to be Camcorders, not Cameras. I'll change it before it confuses anyone else.

You are correct. The current 15% off coupon ends at 5:59am on Friday. The new 10% coupon starts two hours later, and will most likely be stackable with the various Electronics and Accessories coupons, including the $90 off $750

There's bound to be a few nice deals that will be available by stacking some of these. It's just a matter of waiting to see which are stackable with which other ones. Especially with the $90 off $750 coupon - should be some nice LCD, camcorder and SLR digicam deals.

And two more printer coupons. These should be the end of them: Avail. 4/8 8:00am Save 50% on any Dell 540 Printer purchase. Coupon expires 4/9/05 at 5:59 am CT or after 3000 uses, whichever comes first. Avail. 4/8 8:00am Save 40% on any Dell 962 or 1700 Printer purchase. Coupon expires 4/9/05 at 5:59 am CT or after 3000 uses, whichever comes first.

And these will start tomorrow (Thursday): Avail. 4/7 8:00am Save $400 on any Dimension Desktop purchase of $999 or more. Coupon expires 4/9/05 at 5:59 am CT or after 5000 uses, whichever comes first. Avail. 4/7 8:00am Save $500 on any Inspiron Notebook purchase of $1399 or more. Coupon expires 4/12/05 at 5:59 am CT or after 4000 uses, whichever comes first. Avail. 4/7 8:00am Save $600 on any Inspiron Notebook purchase of $1599 or more. Coupon expires 4/12/05 at 5:59 am CT or after 4000 uses, whichever comes first. Avail. 4/7 8:00am Save $800 on any Inspiron Notebook purchase of $1999 or more. Coupon expires 4/12/05 at 5:59 am CT or after 4000 uses, whichever comes first. They are also offering free flat panel LCD upgrades to go with the $400 off $999 Dimension coupon, so there may be some very nice deals to be had tomorrow.

These all start Friday (4/8) at 8am Central Time. Most likely, the $-off Electronics & Accessories coupons will be stackable with the %-off coupons for the LCDs, digicams, camcorders, etc...

Yeah, I switched it to RSS 2.0. When we launch the new site design, we'll see about having other feeds in addition to this one, and will include the deal descriptions in the feeds as well.

Just today I started working on the user customization features of the new site. I have decided to tie it in with the forum, so there will be one login. When you log in, you'll be logged in to both the forum and the main site, so any customizations you make will be saved and retained every time you log in. Before we launch the new site, you'll have to log out and then log back in to have the changes take effect, but that's a long time away. So now I'd like to know what kinds of things you would like to be able to customize on the main site. Not everything will be possible just because of how the site is organized, but here are some things that I'm 95% sure you will be able to change: * how many deals on the home page (either a set number or X days worth) * categories of deals on the home page (include/exclude specific categories) * retailers of deals on the home page (include/exclude specific retailers) * include or exclude deals that involve mail-in rebates on the home page * theme for the site - new design, "classic" (current design), or "lite" * manage your subscriptions to the "Daily Deal Update" and possible new deal alerts * display or not display product images for each deal Those are just some things. Like I said, suggestions are welcome. What else would you like to be able to control?

http://www.bestforbabies.com/detail.cfm/ITEM/36156/NAME/Cooshie_Booster_-_Purple/baby/1 They have it for $29.99 and if you sign up for their e-mail list, you get e-mailed a code for 5% off, which would bring it down to $28.49 plus shipping.
