  1. What size, type and budget?

     

    I'm torn between a larger DLP 42" to sit in our livingroom (which we rarely use) or a smaller 32" LCD or Plasma in the bedroom in front of the bed.

    your decision will probably be made by the deals that they roll out. IMO a smaller one (less $) is better bec in a couple years you're going to want a newer, better one anyway

  2. Back in stock: $59.95 after rebates:

    thanks, I ordered it. came to $95 - 30 rebates.

    I looked in IE even if I refresh, it still showed unvailabale. but since you posted that, I checked in opera and there it was. thanks for the heads up! I just hope they ship it ok.

     

    My last order was a 256 mb CF card for FAR a couple months ago, which was lost in transit somewhere and was a huge PITA to sort out.

  3. my understanding is that more than 128 mb is a waste for most people and that the # of pipes is more important? anyway, I'm just repeating what I've heard bec I don't know jack about video cards.

     

    I have an ATI 9600XT that I got last year for $100. it replaced a maddog card that last about 6 weeks. don't ever get that brand, even if it's FAR.

     

    if you don't need a card rightnow, they usually have some blow out at best buy on video cards on BF.

     

    edit: it says call for availability. that means none in stock.

     

    also check out compusa. they often have decent card deals.

  4. Taking my family on a vacation in august 21 - 28, and need a condo on or really close to either mission or la jolla beaches. The condo needs to sleep at least 15, and needs to have a kitchen. I'm willing to pay around $3000 for the week.

     

    Thanks :)

    are there really condos that sleep 15? isn't a hotel about the same price (for 7 rooms). but there wouldn't be a kitchen

     

    you could contact a realtor. they might know

  5. I went to verizonwireless.com and their best deal isn't as good as the amazon deal. It's 99.99 for the 710 then 19.99 for the cheapest phone--sorry it's not any help!!

    yeah turns out if you call them, they make the 6015i and the 404 free and waive both activations on the $80 family plan which you can drop down to the $60 plan right away when you get the phone ;)

     

    I went that route. I didn't want to deal with wirefly etc.

  6. we want a 710 and a cheap phone for the family plan because it is going to be full price, as I understand it. Don't mind ebay but want a reasonably new model. Doesn't need all the bells and whistles. It's an occassional use we're adding to a family plan. also, I am aware of amazon's deal, but considering we need the 2d phone, is there a better option?

    also do the minutes offered under the plan vary by retailer?

  7. yes you will need a wireless router at home. your internet cable comes into that and then sends the signal out wirelessly and by cable to up to your computers. netgear and d-link are supposed to be the best. I have a netgear MR814v2 this whole year, and have had no prob at all. easy to configure.

     

    usually if I'm out, I look for places that offer free wireless, like Panera bread, or local cafes. You might be able to leach the signal from the car or outside the store.

     

    I have internet thru my cable company, it's always on, fast and flat rate. all those companies, SBC, Comcast, etc have internet. Ask your cable tv company.
