Well, the the word "grab" and the ":D" implied that ravi7791 only put in enough money for one paper and "grabbed" the rest...

Who knows... they're in control... But I would think anytime after 11:59 pm on Thanksgiving...

We're in the same boat, Scarface, but I'll be going to Wyomissing (PA).

Do you realize that's the equivalent of shoplifting the newspaper from the corner store? Do you pay for what you "buy" at Macy's, or do you steal that too? fdd

Doesn't he get paid to deliver the papers? The WHOLE paper, not partial ones.

No, send in the original w/your rebate...you keep the photocopy of the barcode, in case the rebate company gives you a hard time...

Yes, just wait till Friday, and no doorbusters (at doorbuster pricing) online... I'll end up going in, since I want some doorbusters...

Go here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=14239 Fourth question from the top.

We only have the Sunday paper delivered... However, SHEETZ has free coffee on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve, so it's a "tradition" for my wife and me to stop in for the T-Day paper, coffee, and breakfast on our way up to her parents for Thanksgiving.

You are correct... I'll modify the original post. It was the fact that you could order the doorbusters online that threw me... (which you can do, they just won't be at doorbuster prices). Sorry for any confusion! http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileys/yikes.gif

Hey all!!! I am happy to post the "official" Staples ad! Go here and enter your Zip code: http://staples.shoplocal.com/staples/default.aspx Then on the next screen, click the "View upcoming circular" button (took me forever to figure that out). http://tinypic.com/hrcylx.gif I guess you'll still need http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileys/cold.gif outside for the doorbusters, but now at least you can "see" items on pages 2-6... Also, today (11/23) only, Staples is having a online customer appreciation event. Go here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=21602.

They make it so expensive so you can't leave, LOL!

I don't know how familiar you are with computers, but the external drive enclosure will come with installation instructions. It's pretty easy. I have two of the external enclusures I pictured above (AMS VENUS DS-2316B2BK Aluminum 3.5" USB 2.0 Black External Enclosure). They are $35.99 each w/$5.99 S&H from Newegg. There are some that are cheaper, but probably none as nice for the price. It has an average of 5 stars (top rating possible) from 502 people voting, and you can read 147 reviews from owners. Here is the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817145656 If you have a Firewire connection on your computer, they also have a version with Firewire and USB.

The case I showed you above is not plastic... It's aluminum! (That's the best material commonly used for cases/enclosures). And with the 80mm fan underneath your drive, it will keep your drive cooler than any other case I know of. It's the only one I know of to come with such a large fan.... Most enclosures have a 40mm fan out the back. Shock-absorbing? Hard Drives are always delicate. I guess it depends on what you plan to do with it. No 3.5" drive should be moved when the power is on. A 2.5" laptop drive with a 2.5" external enclosure might be more of the way to go if you need to move it around with it on, but there won't be any specials on Black Friday for things like that and laptop drives are always much more expensive.

If you just want one ready to go... Then Best Buy will have a 160 GB Western Digital for $79.95 AR. So, you'll be paying $10.00 more for 40 less GB then my example above, and if the 160GB WD drive goes South, then the enclosure is useless.

I don't know what gigabytes you need, but on Black Friday you could buy the internal 200GB Maxtor Hard Drive from Staples for $29.95 AR, and buy an 3.5" external housing from a place like newegg.com for around $30-$40.00. A little more work, but you'll have the external housing even after the hard drive goes to hard drive heaven (for use with another drive). http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/17-145-656-02.JPG

We call our nearest one, "Dirty King", and if you visited it, you wouldn't eat there either. Not all BK's are bad, just the one closest to our house.
