I went to CC for the Toshiba laptop at 11PM and was surprised to see 40 people already in line. Needless to say I didn't get the laptop. Anyways, at my CC they were letting people do as many of the AOL $250 giftcards as they wanted. I did 8 of them at the $15 a month ($2000 in giftcards = new plasma TV :) The other cool thing is that I've already got 4 different people to pay me the $15 a month and I set up AOL for them using my new accounts (they are picking up neighbors broadband signals and needed email accounts) so if I can find 4 more people I will have the new plasma for free :) The strange this is, I signed up with my debit card and the salesperson said AOL would do the first monthly charges the next day. Sure enough the next day I had two charges of $14.95, but the other six have still not been charged. What happens if AOL screwed up and doesn't charge the other 6???

I used to work at Toys R Us years ago. Back then the managers let me put aside as much as I wanted to buy during the Xmas season (including Black Friday items). I worked in the storeroom, so when we unloaded the trucks and the HOT items came into our clutches we would put them aside for ourselves :) Hey, the pay sucked so we had to supplement our income one way or another. One year I bought so many Power Rangers, Starting Lineups, Tickle Me Elmos, Holiday Barbies and other HOT items during the XMAS season that I made a killing selling them in the paper. Sounds like a lot of stores now have strict rules about employee purchases around this time of year. Ah, the good old days..........
