  1. I have the A610 and I think it's a leeeeetle bit better than the 620, but as far as battery life- phenomenal! I use 4 rechargable AAs and haven't swapped them out in a long time. I don't use the camera everyday, but I have no concerns with the batteries. On a trip or something, I'd probably top them off every night.

     

    My ring pic was with the A 610 in handheld macro mode (which you didn't comment on, BTW ;))

  2. neither. Because I don't consider you one of the more Geeky GD'ers, and you whipped that out. You seemed so normal.... :D

    hey baby, my PC is home brewed :eyepoppin -- I'm the resident geek for my pals, but there are so many here that are way beyond my skills!

  3. You need to do a Traceroute the gottadeal server and post your results here.

     

    The GD site is 72.34.47.72

     

    I will see if I can find a free application do do this for you tonight when I get home. Then, you should be able to locate the problem.

    what..you think I donno how to do that?? :tongue1: interpreting it's another story :D

  4. How about the main site?

    nope, i'd say close to 10 seconds to load it. it's been going on for a few days. painful to submit a reply to a thread- sometimes I get up and walk away to do something while waiting.. other sites are instantaneous and this used to be.

  5. hey all- I got a free sub to consumer reports for 30 days, so I checked out what they had to say. They said you shouldn't get a dryer without a moisture sensor. They recommended the FrigidaireGLER642AS

    over the Hotpoint, so I got that. I got a deal I think, for $299 installed with the disposal of the old one, plus tax. I paid, so it's a done deal!

     

    PS = it's $367 + delivery+ tax at Lowe's :D

  6. Thanks

     

    I have a local store that offered me this for $297 installed + haul away the old, including tax ($279 before tax). I think it's a pretty good deal. Does anyone have a consumer reports sub to look it up?

     

    Hotpoint (GE) NWSR483EB OR NWSR483EBWU OR NWSR483EB-WU

     

    edit- looks like the price is about that- nothing too great about my deal. Would still like to see consumer report's review--signed up for the 30 day free trial.

  7. We bought two Sandisk Sansa M230's for $39.99 each during BF 2005. As an MP3 player it's great but the FM radio was terrible and could not get a clear signal. We tried our home (both floors), my work and my wifes work. So we ended up returning both of them.

    oh that's bad news! I'm hoping that in the gym, where it's coming from the TV that's tuned to a certain frequency, that won't be a problem. Another reason to buy local!

     

    What other solutions do you recommend?

  8. Hey I have an ipod shuffle but I want an FM tuner so I can watch TV at the gym. I was thinking about a cheapo digital radio, but now I"m thinking the Sansa M130/230 might be better. ANy ideas? Is there a better deal or MP3 player? I read the M230 will be on sale at staples next week. Is the 130 better due to the expandable SD slot?

     

    I missed some good deals last month at OD on the M230. Does anyone know how often they rerun their deals?

     

    Note I primarily want the radio function. I have a $40 gift cert to OD and a 10/40 and $10 gift card to staples, and $40 to Dicks Sports, so I'd like to use those first.

  9. I should point out that it's the default font size at GD.com that's troubling me. In IE, I can select view> text size> larger and it doesn't do anything. probably something to do with the skin. which is why I had posted it here. can we set it so we can choose font sizes?
