My fiance & I are saving for a house (& wedding) and have a substantial amount of money. We have had no problems whatsoever and I am a natural skeptic. Before We got engaged, I opened an EmigrantDirect account and again have had NO Problems WHATSOEVER. It is a great way to save money (& keep it pretty liquid) w/o locking your money into a Roth or 401-k. The security is great, transferring money in & out on both is a piece of cake and we had no problem adding me ( a secondary account) to her original account so I could add money without alsways havingf to w/drawl from my account, then deposit into her account, etc etc. They were very stict about security and I needed her with me as proof that it was legit. (which i appreciate), so I have NO PROBLEM recommenfding them.... the interest rate raises for these places and banks are dependant on the Fed raising the prime interest rate... so it's a double-edged sword....it costs more to borrow, but savers benefit with higher interst rates to save. ING or EMIGRANTDIRECT are great places to save save save!

I just bought the 2GB SD card. without $5.00 rebate (mail-in) the total (w/ tax) with google checkout is $26.37!!!! THAT IS A SWEET DEAL! I snagged it up....MAN! I am LOVING THIS SITE!!!

Keep in mind that the Dell DOES NOT come with a productivity wuire....ie microsoft office. You have to install that yourself. RAM is cheap to buy & install, MSOffice suite can be 100-200 bucks if you don't have friend with the license to use. so yes, Dell is better per say, but you get alot more programs with the BB deal. I work in a college setting and having programs are better than having to buy them.

I'm Heading out to BB at midnight....got winter clothes, coupla soda's, smokes and a beach chair! Think there will be people there already!!! If there is a way long line, I may just bag it and wait for the next best deal......I go skunked at the WM laptop deal a few weeks ago. Oh well, this is really fun!

Just be reminded that it doesn't include a productivity suite...Just works....so unless you have it, prepare to shell out extra for Microsoft Office.

thanks Firemansgal311! Totally stoked to try and get it....Monmouth county Nj can be very crowded with bargain hunters, so I guess I'll be camping out! Thanks again for the 411!:)
