*wide eyed kid amazement* wow, and they didn't even have websites like this to tell them about all the deals back in the 80's did they grandpa?
WHY NO GRANDSON, THEY REALLY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE AN INTERNET IN 1980...BARELY EVEN COMPUTERS TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

Truthfylly, I've been let down one too many times. Therefore, I'll believe it when I see it. Not that I'm saying that you are wrong, just saying that I'll believe it when I see it.

I think this WILL be the best paper EVER!!! Better than anything I wrote in college!You can tell him it is a glaring example of Market Pyschology (sp). The whole thing started with the retailers- the day they finally made a profit for the year ( in the black)... and we did- and still feed into it. It actually may be interesting to demonstrate how this has turned to be a consumer driven day now by using Walmarts fiasco last year to illustrate.
I think with some research here.... he may have the best darn paper his teacher will see!!!!

My little cousin (9th grade) has a report due in about a week on an economic powerhouse, he has chosen Black Friday, and I promised him that I would help. So... why is BF so hot? I know my general reasons, but I wanna hear about yours. Thanks for the help!

2 years ago I got one from Staples for dh on black friday. I believe it was refurbished and we got a great deal...its still going strong today and we use it everyday in a theater room. Last year Staples had a good deal on a projector too so be sure and check out Staples. You won't regret getting one. We love it!

Wow... great thanks!!! I never even really thought about the office stores except Office Depot. I'll have to check it out. What price did you get it at, if you don't mind me asking, ?
-
In that case... see if you can find some Bose on eBay or something like that. The JVC ones are still goos for clarity and natural sounding as long as you turn the equilizer down a bit.

So your in a smaller town? I would think that BB would have quite a few since Louisville is the 16th largest city in the USA. Dosen't seem like much, but Louisville is VERY over-populated!

I totally agree, I am sticking to XP as long as I can unless some major changes come, and I am not talking this wimpy Vista SP1 release, I want to see something more major. I think it was zdnet/cnet that recently ran quite a few programs thought the paces and found that XP is still quicker across the board with the same setups. Yes, you do get more bells and some whistles (aero), but really could care less about 95% of them.
EXACTLY!!!
They look cool, but they are not functional. Now, with that said, the way that Apple inplements Aqua (hmmm...Aqua Aero... ) it just works and you don't even relize it, but you are using Aqua all the freakin' time! -
well i need maybe in ear ones for my iphone also.
I heard you can cut them up to make them work without an adapter???
but i wanted soemthing like the Sennheiser 555 but they seem to large
I just didn't want to cut my Bose connector. Try the JVC ones, I think you wil be happy with them. Do you want a lot of bass? Or more just natural sounding?
-
YAY!!! Extended!
Anyway... the only reason I HATE vista is because it is so much harder for us developers to work with. It's still DLL Hell!
There is still that thing called Activation! 
There is still something called a registry, and it just dosen't work with some of the high-end products I use when developing. Common Microsoft... just copy Apple some more. 
It'll all work out, but I'm sticking to Paralles on my iMac, Bootcamp on the Mac Pro, and Windows XP Pro on my other machines. Oh... not to mention Windows Server (xxx) (Can't mention the name... I'm a developer and I'm beta testing 
) on my server in the basement. Vista is just too damn complicated and just too freakin' "mean!"

I bought a pair of $400 + headphones (Bose) for a little less than $300 last christmas. It wasn't on BF, but they are the most amazing headphone I've ever used, or heard that matter. Now, that's not cheap, but for me, as a photographer, and videographer, as well as editing specialist, a good set of headphone is virtually priceless while I'm out in the feild. I also use them for my iPhone (with help from an adapter) and they are still amazing. But for what you want, Meijer's has a set of JVC earphones. They look alot like iPod earphones, but they are much better. I believe they are under twenty bucks! :) The only drawback to those is that one "cable" is longer than the other. They are suppose to be for sport activities and therefore, you are suppose to put one earphone around your neck to where there is no cable hanging down infront of your chest, instead, it is just on your side. I bought a pair of these for my sister and she loves them. Actually, she stole them from me! Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.

My BB is a larger one... first one to open in Louisville at the time. Now there's 4. So really, if I can't get one there, there is always the other 3. ...hopefully...

My last BF shopping experience was very good. I finished placing all the Staples online orders by 5am and then took my neighbor (a newbie in BF shopping) to CompUSA. We were around the 30th in line. I got the $20AR 160GB HD and FAR BT headset and walked out in 5 minutes after the store opened.
Wow... just take the newbie to Best Buy and see if he/she wants to go back next year.

I was shown a memo by a store manager at the local BB so that is what I based my info on. The memo had a microsoft letterhead on it. I shall try to get a copy and post it.
I have known you can downgrade if you have Ultimate and or Business. My company got a rock bottom deal from Apple and everything is being switched to Apple with Windows XP being installed on the backside.
Thanks for the links!
You cannot go wrong with going Apple! What are you using for Windows? VMware, Parallels, or Boot Camp?
-
XP is one trillion times better than vista. I bought a VERY expensive computer (upwards of $4000) and it came with Vista Ultimate on it. I tried it for a day or so, nope! Not for me! Went out and bought XP Pro the day after. Though, I do admit... I'm a Mac kinda person, Windows is not ALL bad. (just mostly...)
-
1200 ansi lumens, all day special but there was only 4 in the store. 3 minutes to sell them.
English please?
I'm good @ computers, not projectors. :) Anyway, do you mean that the store only had 4 of them and it only took 3 minutes to sell them ALL? Holy Crap! That's nuts ! Did you still wait outside or did you go in a little later for it? -
No the question is Is it unethical to be one of the first in line at BB so when they come out and hand out tickets for the big items they are selling you get 1 of each of the tickets then to turn around and sell those tickets to the people in the back of the line who didn't come early and camp out thus didn't get a ticket. Last year I saw people getting tickets for the cheap laptop and desktop and stuff then selling those tickets to the people at the back of the line. Thier defense was the people in the back were basically paying that person for their time they spent camping out to get the tickets
Oh.. my bad. I'm all for BF, if you don't get something, too bad, should have gotten there earlier. I agree with people who sell tickets, I'm in business and own my own company, so maybe I do understand those people a bit better. IDK though... there is somethings that should stay at home, but business sense should be in your pocket right next to the credit card.

I think I'm sticking with my 30" Apple Cinema display. Plus, I've got two more 24" Apple Cinema displays used as secondary and video monitor. Yes, I'm a pro user. And I'm a geek!
-
Heck yeah
!! Saying that BF is unethical is like saying that racing is slow. It's crazy! They are a business and they are here to make money, no matter how they get it. Simple as that. But, then again, that's just my two cents.

I don't know why... but I've never laughed so hard in my life. lol.

last year i bought one for 399.00 on BestBuy. You can check the last year ad...
How did that go? Was it a door buster or just a good deal day-long. How's the quality? Am I asking too many questions?

WHOOOOHOOOO!!! 2 months!!!

There might be. No one knows until the AD is leaked. I would think so but dont hold it to me.
Yea... I figured that's what every one would say
I've went back and looked at the older ads and have found nothing so far. 
It's really starting to make me
