Been there with some purchases from places in the past. Never fun.

Reminds me of Y2K, I'm not much of a drinker so when that rolled around I volunteered to go into work and bring all of our equipment online (Servers, Network, Phone System and so forth) and make sure it all worked as expected (even though we had done a ton of testing. I got there super early in the morning and got it all working and tested. It was so dark and quiet that I almost fell asleep lol.

If you're getting it from Apple itself on their online store then it's pretty much as good as new and usually comes with a good warranty. Now from others I'm not 100% sure as it would depend on the skills of the person doing the refurbishment.

There I fixed it for you

Couldn't agree more, I wish it were easier for those in need of them to be able to get them.

I used to take it off every year and still would had my company not decided to switch to being closed on Thanksgiving and Black Friday

I keep thinking they are all going to come in a huge rush. I guess they are waiting for the election to be over so people pay attention to them. Well the ones who don't move to Canada lol

Mail in rebates suck. I know I am HORRIBLE about them so more often than not I don't factor them into my purchase decision. I know this is what these stores bank on but where I can I just flat out avoid them.

Not really a lot of traditions on Christmas Eve anymore as the family has shrunk. We do tend to have dinner at our house and the menu usually varies. One tradition is lot's of different cookies, pies and the like. As far back as I can remember dinners have always been like some sort of meat (I prefer roast beast (beef)) and we always did some sort of pasta, when I was young the holiday parties were always HUGE lots of family packed into our house, that went on until I was well into my late teens when some of the family started to move away. This year we are going to have a party before Christmas and invite all our extended family and friends over since it's harder to get those people over on the actual day.

What is it you want to spend? As Bluebear said if you're wanting to game on it then dedicated graphics is a must for any of the newer FPS type of games. The APU type chips have gotten better but they still aren't near on par. Now the down side of that is that these machines usually cost more. So if you can give us some input on what you want to spend, what size screen is needed and such we can give some input on machines that would be good.

No they just moved it to Wednesday to confuse people

Can always go both ways and use the laptop with a Dock/Port Replicator. I have them for my home and work machines so that I can use the bigger/more monitors setup.

Nice, we may pick one up for our daughter.

Very odd. Do you have any type of Ad Blocker or anything of that nature? Maybe clear your cache in the browser.

2005 was my first year viewing here. I didn't sign up for account until Nov 2 the next year though. It's a lot of fun to go back in time. I at times will go look at some of the old ad's and see what was out there. Found the 50" Toshiba Plasma we scored as a Doorbuster in 06 Funny to go back and see some of the names that have been around here forever and the people that used to be around.

Very happy they are on the road to recovery. I'm sure it's a load off your mind right there. As for sharing I dunno I think Jay is basking in the limelight right now lol J/K.

My wife said she read an article that the maker said they are putting out another huge batch by Mid November (my guess is in time for BF) and then there won't be another batch until first of the year shipped out.

My friend had them price match something last night at a store in NC. So as said I think it's store to store (odd but oh well)

Is your oldest son Sheldon from Big Bang Theory? He already has a cool toaster lol.

YOu have the OGX shampoo/conditioners and also based on the wording (even though it shows hairspray) I would say the Big Sexy Hair line.

We wanted to put one up this weekend but everyone being sick put a stop to that. Hopefully this week or weekend we will get one of them put up. We also need to do our rearranging of things to get ready for holiday guests.

One of my friends just picked up Titanfall 2 and said it's great. Hasn't even gotten to the multi player part yet.

I agree I would talk to some of the store managers and ask their advice. Only thing I would worry about is not the dog freaking out they are usually very well trained and super calm but people getting stupid and the dog possibly getting hurt dealing because of the mad rushes and such. If you aren't going to be in the mad rush I would see no issues with it.

Thats a long url to type out iijmodtasty.com using just the first letter is kind of funny though.

You know I was thinking to really help us in these tech times you should have a tablet in there like an iPad or a Fire or something like that. You can brand the with the GD logo lol.
