I'd opt for the latter, but that is certainly a personal preference.I need to do this! Or build a DVR....
What exactly would be the intended usage?
-
Newly implemented category :)
Excellent work, Ross and Brad.I used to just pick 2-3 items from each store and post regular deals on them, but decided to consolidate around 10 items per store into single deals to see how it goes.
-
Just to accurately report on this matter, the free minutes are indeed treated as a monetary credit (€2.04, or roughly $2.52) in one's SkypeOut credit, and appear subject to the same conditions outlined above (which would be expiration after 180 days of inactivity).I didn't see it, but do you have to use the 120 free minutes by a certain date?
Also, the credit of both the minutes and the free SkypeVoicemail (while it is indeed automatic) is not instantaneous, and can take anywhere from approximately 3 to 12 hours to appear in one's account.
-
Are weekly advertised specials at local B&M retailers a newly implemented category (or just a special occurrence)?
-
Correct. I've never seen this particular Sennheiser headset at an office supply store, nor at any of the major electronic stores that Brad listed.I doubt the office chains have them in stock either.
I'll see if ePinions or CNET.com has any additional reviews.
You might try a more premium level store. For the Nyc area, Micro Center, or DataVision come to mind.
Wish I had more choices to offer to you Oregonians.
-
Am surprised the additional $1.90 hasn't pushed Ross over the edge.So that will save you $1.90 more bringing the cost down to $36.09 plus shipping :)
-
I assume you mean in the included toll-free SkypeOut list, Susan?Would be nice if Australia was included...but hopefully someday.
-
Believe the credit would be treated as any other SkypeOut purchase (Terms of Service):I didn't see it, but do you have to use the 120 free minutes by a certain date?
"A credit balance for SkypeOut service expires 180 days after last chargeable usage of SkypeOut service. Credit balances not used within said 180 day period will be lost."
That isn't 180 days total, mind you - just 180 days of inactivity. -
In what regard? Just listening? Certainly. The headset makes use of a standard 3.5mm connector.I wonder if it can it be used for mp3 players..
-
Another option (eCost). Believe when I purchased from eCost in February the price was closer to $33 shipped.
Alternatively, you could wait for these to come back in stock. Essentially the same headset, just in the behind the neck style.

My muffs bring all the users to voice chat.[holding back laughter]
How about the muffs, are they comfortable?
They seem rather large and overbearing.
-
For those wondering, these are the current SkypeOut rates.
The promotion works out to approximately 20% off, assuming a minimum purchase (note that the credit is in the form of 120 minutes at the current base rate of € 0.017, or approximately $ 0.02 per minute).
Also should reference this thread posted last month which noted that SkypeOut users can now place free calls to all toll-free landline numbers listed below:
- France: +33 800, +33 805, +33 809
- Poland: +48 800
- UK: +44 500, +44 800, +44 808
- USA: +1 800, +1 866, +1 877, +1 888
-
Absolutely. Just be certain to meet the minimum purchase requirement of $10 or €10 (or more) of Skype premium services (SkypeIn, SkypeVoicemail, or SkypeOut) using PayPal.I haven't read the fine print yet but are existing Skype-Out users eligible for this promo?
The steps are:
- Download Skype for free and register your Skype name if you don’t have one already
- Spend a minimum of $10 or €10 on Skype services
- Pay using Paypal
- Your Skype account will automatically be credited with 120 SkypeOut minutes and 3 months Skype Voicemail free.
-
Personally highly recommend this headset.
Very comfortable, and great sound quality at this price point.

Now when you spend a minimum of $10 or €10 on Skype services with PayPal we’ll give you an extra 120 SkypeOut calling minutes and 3 months Skype Voicemail absolutely free*.
Skype Vouchers Terms and Conditions
The 120 SkypeOut minutes of credit are based on the current SkypeOut global rate from Skype to landlines in the U.S. and more than 20 other countries. To use SkypeOut and Skype Voicemail, you first need to register for a Skype user account and to get a free Skype user name. This promotion expires September 30, 2005.

Absolutely correct (I claim toxic effects of being overworked).The R200 is epson, but I believe their ink is pretty darn resonable as well.
And yes, Epson ink is fairly inexpensive as well (I currently use an Epson AIO).
-
The R200 is often all sale quite inexpensively, and as mrn8 mentions Canon ink is very reasonable.
-
Now, that's a hot deal.Probably TeamSpeak or Ventrilo exclusively for GottaDeal.com members and topics :)
-
Any decision as far as the medium that will be employed? TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, OlsonTalk, etc?We plan on introducing GottaDeal.com VOIP chat in about 2 months. All you need is high speed broadband internet and a headset then you can join us. It's FREE

I've used Wacom products for years, and actually own a Graphire3 at the moment (I picked one up early last year for around $50.00 AC/AR).Has anyone ever used one of these? Review?
For consumer-grade tablets, there really isn't a better choice than Wacom.
For a first tablet, this isn't a bad choice at all. Though it's rather small (this is the smallest Graphire tablet Wacom offers, with a 4x5" active area), the calibration software can map the active area to nearly any screen dimensions. The stylus and mouse are both wireless and do not require additional batteries nor charging of any kind. While I prefer the Intuos' stylus a bit better, the stylus included with the Graphire line is quite good, and offers 512 degrees of varying pressure sensativity (most of Wacom's higher end products offer 1024, but for a beginner 512 is more than adequate).
A large percentage of graphics related software applications offer integration with Wacom products, including pressure sensativity settings, individual stylus/mouse settings, application specific tools/command settings, etc. The software integration really makes the product what it is, rather than just a static input device.
If you're are looking to experiment with a tablet for the first time or (like me) are more comfortable with a pen/pencil/brush/etc, this isn't a bad choice at all at this price.
Also, this is one of the few reviews that offered any sort of actual information.

Rather than create a new thread, am simply bumping this slightly older one.
Same drive, same link. $10.00 price drop.
$69.99 with Free Shipping. No rebate.

Another vote for Citibank.
Quite easy to use (even some of family members can manage to use it successfull).
-
I can imagine this uncle is going to end up purchasing the "Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf" equivalent.A really cool uncle will also pick up a copy of Katamari Damacy to go with it :)
-
Thank you for the clarification, James. I was thinking more along these lines:I am not familiar at all regarding notebook slim drive. (what is it?)

One of the hotter PowerEdge SC420 deals would be a bit more inexpensive.
